Julie Christensen: Home

WELCOME!

We have new news below, updated more often now.

The new recording, Where the Fireworks Are, is done NOW! This is our fourth CD, recorded withTom Lackner and Joe Woodard of Headless Household and a pack of damn fine musicians, including Karen Hammack, Steve Nelson, Greg Leisz, Kenny Edwards, Kenny Wollesen, Jim Christie, and Dave Palmer.

"...the album radiates in poignancy, yet shimmers in sublime beauty. From the heart-wrenching title track, which serves up an aching does of harsh reality, to the cascading piano that drives the plaintive “Something Pretty,” Where the Fireworks Are is a collection of songs spanning the emotional spectrum. It provides an evocative musical chariot for Christensen to weave her vocal magic."--Brett Leigh Dicks, VCReporter

Oh, and check out the radio station I made for fun on PANDORA

"On her earlier solo albums, love is driving (1997) and Soul Driver (2001), "Christensen justifies her wandering idiomatic interests-veering from piano-oriented pop of the Carly Simon ilk to L.A. C&W to soul and back--with a lucid artistry and a love of the beautifully-sung note or nicely-sculpted lyric. The title track's horn-fueled feisty R&B/pop energy yields to the emotional, metaphor-fortified sincerity of songs like "Traveling Companion" (in a sinuous 7/8) and "Stone Cupid" (also the name of her label and web-site). Guests include ambient pedal steel hero Greg (Bill Frisell, Joni Mitchell) Liesz and drummer Jim (Dwight Yoakum) Christie. All in all, a happy, luminous occasion"

--Joe Woodard, SB Independent, L.A. Times...

Going to Folk Alliance and SXSW - January 29, 2008

Haven't done such things in years, but it's time to "spread my hustle"
Will be playing at Folk Alliance 2/22/08 at 2pm with Kenny Edwards and Phil Parlapiano. Then in March I travel to Austin to attend the SXSW conference, and visit my old hometown.
