WELCOME NERDS

Hello, People of Earth (And Sea!) 

I’m guessing, if you’re reading this right now, it’s because you follow Wil Wheaton on tumblr or twitter and he ushered your little geeky ears in my direction.  If that’s the case, thank you!

Now that I’m here, how can I help? (you may be asking)

Thanks for asking! My goal is to get on JoCoCruiseCrazy 3 as a performer!  A bunch of my buddies go on the cruise each year and, because I am a broke, broke, broke musician, I haven’t been able to make it yet.

I love to write music, and I love nerds. A lot. I even wrote a song about breaking up with people on the internet.

Nothing would make me happier than to play music I’ve written for a bunch of nerds. On a boat.

SO, if you have a minute, please contact the JCC3 folks in whatever way you think is best and let them know you want to have me there with you! Also, If you happen to know John Hodgman (on whose blog I appeared once inadvertently, when my friend Famous Tracy mentioned me in a video of the last cruise) tell him to call me and we can talk about it if he has any concerns.

***** If you aren’t going on the cruise, but you are still a nerdy person who likes my music, I’ll also be doing Hotel Room Concerts at Dragon*Con this year! They’re like house concerts, but in your hotel room. Though I’m sure you figured that out cause you’re a damn
genius. And good-looking, too. Drop me an email through the contact page if you’re interested in one of those.Thanks for listening, smarty-pants(es)!

All the Love,

Juliana

Words to a Friend

I was writing an email to a friend of mine this morning in response to a post she wrote, and realized after I sent the email that they were the very words I needed to hear.  So I thought, “Maybe other people need to hear it today, too.” Here it is: The people who are…

New Band, New Songs

Hi y’all! It’s been a while since I updated you. I feel like I’ve been moving so much I’ve barely had time to let anyone know where I am. So, in case you were worrying (mom) I’m fine and happy. The latest thing I’m thrilled about is that I finally have a new backing band!…

My Birthday Village

Today, I begin the last year of my twenties. I’ve had a little vacation from my beloved iPhone and computer today, so it wasn’t until just now (at 7:30pm) that I opened up Facebook to find over 200 notifications, all well-wishes from friends, family, and fans.  I’m not going to lie – the first thing…

East Coast Tour Kicks Off Tomorrow!

Just a quick note to let you guys know that tomorrow I’m jumping in my trusty CR-V (her name is Boomer) and heading North. I’ll be spending most of July on the road and stopping in lots of places from here to New Hampshire, so please be sure to check out the tour page and…

Songs For Fans – My Latest Crazy Idea

I get harebrained ideas on occasion, and sometimes they stick. Recently, I decided I would record and release a new work tape of a song for every 100 new Facebook fans on my fan page. It keeps me writing, and hopefully provides some entertainment for folks at the same time. Today, I released my third…

It Gets Better

If you haven’t yet heard of the “It Gets Better” initiative by the Trevor Project, you should take some time to check out some of the many videos posted on the site.   The project was started as a response to several LGTB teen suicides that were contributed to by bullying and harassment. The song below…

Apples/Blossoms Review!

My first review is out and it’s a great one. Thanks to Rhett at Weatherlight for taking the time to be so in depth (and of course, so complimentary…) A short snippet: Finch’s third major release is in every way what we’ve come to expect from her.  There’s no pretense in her musical career…she takes…

They’re heeeeere…

The first of the two new EPs is available for download now!  The second one is going up as soon as I get to 500 Facebook fans, so if you aren’t already a fan on Facebook, go do that. I’ll reward you with delicious new tracks. Click the album cover to listen & download!

Spring Tour Coming!

Hey folks, Just a quick note to let you know I’ll be traveling quite a bit in the next few months to play shows and promote the new album.  I’m especially focusing on house concerts, so please get in touch over here if you want me to play your place! I’ll also be hanging out…
