Goldie Boutilier is a Canadian singer-songwriter. Raised on the music of Tammy Wynette and Dolly Parton, her music is noted for its cinematic quality and exploration of tragic romance, glamour, and melancholia, containing references to her small-town upbringing, with a nod to 1950s and 1960s Americana. Singing began for her at an early age and from her first performance at age five in her hometown with The Men of the Deeps Choir – North America’s only coal miners’ choir, to using her family’s junkyard business as a rehearsal space, she dreamt about life outside of the small town of Reserve Mines, located in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.
