Goldie Boutilier

On 11 November 2026, Goldie Boutilier brings her cinematic pop to Gorilla, Manchester. Raised in Nova Scotia, she crafts songs where pop meets soul, R&B, rock and a touch of country, drawing on small‑town imagery and classic film influences. After early 2010s projects under other names, first in a pop/dance lane with hip‑hop and electronic collaborators, she slowed the tempo and leaned into a more sensual, R&B‑tinted sound. Under the Goldie Boutilier moniker, her writing puts storytelling first, with female characters and tight scene‑setting, moving between unhurried ballads and more rhythmic cuts.

Live, her tracks favour space and detail: vocals up front, guitars and keys that breathe, drums that hold back then push. The 2023 EP Cowboy Gangster Politician marks a key chapter, with stripped arrangements and a clear taste for retro references that translate well on stage. In Manchester, she connects those threads into a set that balances atmosphere and pulse, letting melody, twang and narrative guide the room from low‑lit confessions to songs built for a steady sway.
