Yola's New Town Road

How a British singer reinvented herself, and took over Nashville.

Yola's New Town Road

It was hard to miss Yola at July’s Newport Folk Festival. The brightly dressed, earthy-voiced singer appeared on multiple stages at the legendary Rhode Island event, dropping in on sets by the Highwomen — where she got the biggest cheers of the supergroup’s show — and Dolly Parton, who welcomed Yola for a raucous group singalong of “9 to 5.” She also drew an overflowing crowd to her own side-stage performance, delivering a deeply moving set of country-soul originals. “Yola is a force unlike any we’ve ever seen in this genre,” says Brandi Carlile, who considers Yola an “honorary member” of her group High women.

Actor You Need to Know: Woo Do-hwan

Woo Do-hwan has an air of glamor and passion in his characters with also a solid realism in a somewhat different, if distinct, sense. I'm wondering what exactly informs that—his artistic sensibilities—but I think it's his use of various theatrical references and his knowledge and appreciation of performing arts habits that, as far as one can tell, come from his learning—he's a major in film and acting from the distinguished Dankook University, South Korea.
