LONG BIOGRAPHY – FOR WHO’S NOT

In 2006 Singer-songwriter and piano player Jolanda Moletta started her project, which soon involved a series of musical and visual collaborations. Classical studies and various experiences in the musical field took to a conscious songwriting with an international appeal, recently confirmed by the U.S. tour. During Fall 2008, after a lot of concerts in Italy, having shared the stage with Joan as a Policewoman, Amanda Rogers, Handsome Family, Jenny Sorrenti, Jolanda crosses the ocean to introduce her first release Wintry Rains Wailing (2006) to New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles. A San Francisco gig is recorded on the Live in California EP. “Arcane, full of energy, beyond styles...”: so the music of Jolanda has been defined, “... when she plays, it looks like she’s conducting a little imaginary orchestra between her fingers and her voice”. Jolanda’s songs tell about inner landscapes, restless astronauts, mirror reflexes, faceless children, shadows, memories in a parade, nightmares and ghosts. On stage, always a few steps from Jolanda, are Demian Endian (guitar, arranger) and Eros Giuggia (sax). Jolanda also plays musical box, toy piano, kalimba and typewriter. Jolanda is about to end the recording of her second album Aubade, which will host Marcello Vento (Canzoniere del Lazio, Jenny Sorrenti), the percussion virtuoso who’ll play on two songs.
