The BMI Music Stage at Lollapalooza returned for its seventeenth year this weekend and featured twenty-four of today’s best up-and-coming acts. Performances spanned across several genres including R&B, Latin, pop/rock, indie, country and featured incredible sets from Taylor Acorn, Goldie Boutilier, Carmen DeLeon, adan diaz, Mckenna Grace, Sam Nelson Harris, Huddy, Natalie Jane, Treaty Oak Revival, Hayes Warner, WILLIS and more.
The BMI Lounge also hosted several BMI affiliates performing at Lollapaloooza over the weekend including Dasha, Kyle Dion, Chad Smith, sundial, Uncle Jumbo and more.
Goldie Boutilier is a Canadian singer/songwriter raised on the music of Tammy Wynette and Dolly Parton. Her songs are notable for their cinematic quality and exploration of tragic romance, glamour, and melancholia, containing references to her small-town upbringing in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, with a nod to 1950s and 1960s Americana. Goldie made her first performance at age five using her family’s junkyard business as a rehearsal space and signed her first record deal with Interscope Records at the age of 21. Influenced by her Cape Breton roots, the creative process behind her upcoming album, The
Actress, was a departure from her previous releases, and one that sent her on a journey of honesty, purity, vulnerability, and a healing return to herself.
