Yola Will Bring Powerful Americana R&B to Bozeman & Missoula

Four time Grammy nominee, Yola, is bringing her unique brand of country soul to Montana for two shows in 2022. She’ll be at The ELM in Bozeman on April 7th then at The Wilma on April 9thSoul stirring singer-songwriter Jac Ross will open for Yola each show.

Yolanda Quartey a.k.a. Yola put out her first album Orphan Offering in 2016. In 2019, she released Walk Through Fire to much acclaim. The Wall Street Journal said, “The album is an introduction to a seasoned, major vocalist that stands to be remembered as a breakthrough.” Yola earned four Grammy nominations later that year for Best Americana Album, Best American Roots Performance, Best American Roots Song and Best New Artist. Now, she’s back with her third full length release, Stand for Myself, which came out in July of 2021.

Perhaps though, Yola’s real talent comes through not necessarily on her records, but on stage. She made a big impact at 2019’s Newport Folk Festival serving as a guest vocalist for The Highwomen, Dolly Parton and Dawes. Glide Magazine said “People came from far and wide to hear Yola sing, either because they were enchanted by her excellent release from earlier this year Walk Through Fire, or because word of mouth had reached them that this was not to be missed.”

About Yola

Stand for Myself is the anthemic new album from Yola. Produced by Dan Auerbach, the record is a timeless masterpiece marking an idiosyncratic sonic shift, which will defy all expectation. A sophisticated and diverse sonic mix of symphonic soul and classic pop, tracing an expansive musical thread to Yola’s most eclectic musical inspirations.

Yola’s inimitable vocals share nuanced stories of allyship, black feminine strength through vulnerability, collective awakening and loving connection from the sexual to the social. Yola declares that it is only when we stand for ourselves, and acknowledge our complexity, that we can be truly alive. For Yola, living is more than merely surviving.
