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.

Mostly catching up with website and other maintenance, including that of body and soul.
We played gigs in October with John Doe and Joe Frank. I did some benefits. Headless Household had their yearly Xmas do, and I'm proud to be still chirping after all these years. Happy Solstice and New Year to all.

"Where the Fireworks Are" is in the mix and about to be mastered! We're very excited here at Stone Cupid world. It's an edgier piece o' work, you'll see... We've been hard at work on that over the course of the last coupla years, and you can hear some early rough mixes up on http://myspace.com/juliechristensenandstonecupid

As part of his California swing, Lou graciously invited me to reprise our Joan of Arc duet from the Came So Far for Beauty Evening we'd done in Dublin. It was a different animal this time, sinewy and powerful, but delicate in her way. He started off with a very velvet introduction on guitar accompanied by the ample bass of Rob Wasserman and Fernando Saunders. That guitar then opened up wider and wider to accompany the fire. It was something I will always treasure.

My Sonicbids Calendar
Visit Often, and I'll set about filling it! Walking in gratitude, Yours very truly, Julie

Saw lots of gal pals at the conference, learned a few tips about getting around this here racket, this indie music biz thing, and heard some good music, including: Patti Smith and Lenny Kaye--Patti was being honored as the Woman of Valor and was celebrating the 30-year release of "Horses" (nice banquet--said hey to filmmaker Allison Anders there, too. Her first film, Border Radio, in which I had a teeny role and sang some Divine Horsemen tunes as well, is coming out on DVD this winter on Criterion! ) Johnette Napolitano of Concrete Blonde, the other Keynote Speaker, sang at the Triple Door , and had me sit in with her on "Ghost Riders in the Sky". It was great to sing with her and have a long talk again....YIPPEEIIOOOOH!. My friend Rain Perry of Ojai did a beautiful showcase as well with Sara Hickman in accompaniment. Sara's exhuberant show followed hers, and then the wild little Erin McKeown proceeded to stir it up. I also got to see my buddies Kathy Valentine of the Go-Go's, Rosie Flores for a good talk, and get a brief hug with Wendy Waldman. I missed her show, though, Waaaahhh. Too much goin' on. Did see Ventura County's Rachel Sedacca, Newfoundland's heartfelt folkrocker Cherie Pyne, and quirky Nicky Click. Then, I also got to hear some jazz at Tula's with our sorely missed expatriate bassman Chris Symer... Karen Hammack, who came to Rockrgrl with me, was giving her considerable talent to that room with L.A. chanteuse Judy Wechsler. Nice tunes! Nice chops. Well, I have to jet. Stay tuned...

Going to the event that only happens once every 5 years in Seattle, this year honoring Patti Smith. You can find details HERE. In honor of it, I just printed 300 copies of a pre-release promotional single from one of the new cd's I'm working on of "Never Will I Marry" available only here on this website for $5 + $2 shipping and handling. This will not be available for download. Hot off the press!
