Den 26. september tager hun sit nye, lovpriste album, Wine Dark Sea, med i Lille VEGA til en nærværende koncert. Ros fra prominente musikere Både rockmusikeren Tom Waits og rapperen Sage Francis er store fans af Jolie Holland. Waits nominerede hende til Shortlist Music Prize, mens Francis har udtalt, at Hollands album, Escondida, var det album, han havde lyttet mest til i 2005. Holland har faktisk samarbejdet med netop Francis på to numre, på hans album Human the Death Dance fra 2007. Stjerneregn over nyt album Jolie Holland var et af de stiftende medlemmer af det eksperimenterende canadiske folk-band The Be Good Tanyas, men valgte at forlade bandet for at fokusere på solokarrieren, som hun indledte med debutalbummet Catalpa (2003). Den 19. maj 2014 udgav hun sit seneste album, Wine Dark Sea, der har høstet rosende gloser og en sand stjerneregn fra anmelderne. GAFFA giver fem flotte stjerner og skriver, at “Wine Dark Sea er ren opvisning i skæv og støvet americana fra start til slut med Jolie Holland, der viser, hvor skabet skal stå.” Allmusic.com giver hele 4,5 stjerner ud af 5 og forklarer; ”Holland not only delivers her most intuitively crafted and realized collection to date, but she expands the boundaries and possibilities for American roots music in the process”.

Outline Go Further, the new film by award-winning documentary filmmaker Ron Mann, explores the idea that the single individual is the key to large-scale transformational change. The film follows actor Woody Harrelson as he takes a small group of friends on a bio-fuelled bus ride down the Pacific Coast Highway. Their goal? To show the people they encounter that there are viable alternatives to our habitual, environmentally destructive behaviors. The travelers include a yoga-teacher, a raw food chef, a hemp-activist, a junk- food addict, and a college student who suspends her life to impulsively hop aboard. We see the hostility these pilgrims encounter, and watch as their ideas are challenged from within and without.
