Jolie Anastasia –Musician
Jolie Anastasia is a folk and Americana singer-songwriter whose music feels like a conversation around a fire—intimate, timeless, and rooted in the human spirit. With a voice that carries both tenderness and grit, she weaves stories of love, resilience, and belonging.
From Ontario to open skies far beyond, Jolie’s melodies echo the traditions of the folk greats while carving her own path. She balances vulnerability with quiet strength, drawing listeners into a world where raw emotion meets poetic reflection.
Her music invites you to slow down, listen deeply, and find yourself reflected in the poetry of her songs—like letters written from the soul to anyone willing to hear.
Her lyrical gift is evident from the opening lines of ‘Lucky To Find’: “Looking at your face, and seeing through your smile. As you try to hide a trace of riveting disguise.” It’s an image at once intimate and revealing, capturing the duality of tenderness and hurt that defines much of her work.

With her debut full-length album ‘Guiding Light’ arriving November 7, 2025, and the title cut out now, the Collingwood-based singer-songwriter is quickly establishing herself as one of folk and roots music’s most promising new voices.
Jolie has already become a fixture in Ontario’s folk community, performing at local festivals and intimate listening rooms with her band: Braden Mahon (guitar), Rae Melvin (drums/harmonica), and Kyle Dreany (bass).
