Juliana Finch: News

 

The album won't be funded unless the full amount is pledged by August 21st, so please consider backing the project.  Kickstarter is an amazing service that helps lots of creative folks make great things happen.

I'm excited to announce a benefit show for an awesome cause. Hope you can make it out!

 

Details below:

Join us at Paris on Ponce on Saturday, July 17th for an amazing benefit concert featuring the legendary Shawn Mullins and up-and-coming songstress Juliana Finch! The concert benefits Atlanta’s own Briarcliff Animal Foundation as well as the PIGS Animal Sanctuary.

In addition to an acoustic sets from Juliana and Shawn, emcee Dante Gold will perform. Plus, the benefit will feature live and silent auctions. Tickets are only $35 and on sale now!

Can’t make it to the event but still want to help out? No problem, you can make a donation in any amount on the Rock for Animals website. Plus, the silent auction will actually begin online July 1st! So, you can bid on your favorite items from the comfort of your home and still help save animals!

I was recently featured on the OurStage blog!

Here's a snippet:

"Not many artists are down to share their creative processes with the world, but one folk artist is keeping her thoughts open to everyone.  Juliana Finch is one of the most forefront and honest musicians on the folk scene today. She stays connected with her fans and even offers advice, utilizing Twitter, a blog, personal Web site, Facebook account and OurStage account. Finch not only gets personal with fans—her music is personal as well."

A song that will be on my new EP, Apples, here for you to enjoy.

Hope your holidays are wonderful and the New Year brings you all that you want!

Atlanta is considerably drier and less muddy than my weekend at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. Despite that, it's not nearly as exciting by comparison.

I met so many beautiful people and had a wonderful time.
My deepest gratitude to:

* The festival attendees: Way to brave crazy weather, late nights and long walks from the muddy parking lot! We keep playing because you keep listening. Thanks especially to my campground neighbors who made sure I was dry, fed, and entertained during my downtime. You were the best neighbors a little folksinger could ask for.

* The entire staff and volunteer group at Falcon Ridge: People, you are incredible. You kept things running smoothly, kept us fed, kept us happy and whole. You make it possible for us to play and sing and dance.

* The crepe artists at the Skinny Pancake: Had I ever tasted a crepe before this weekend? All other crepes are a faint and distant memory compared to yours. Thanks in particular for "The Heartbreaker" which kept my dessert cravings from getting out of hand!

* My fellow Emerging Artists: It was really an honor to play on a stage (and in tents) with such great company. You are all incredibly talented and I hope we meet again on the road.

* The inventor of the rain fly: Whoever you are, you kept my stuff from getting soaked on Saturday night during that torrential downpour. For that, I salute you.

* This Year's Performers: Thank you for reminding me why I get up and write in the morning, why I put so many miles on my car, why I will never quit. Many of you went out of your way to offer encouragement and hugs this weekend. You are the Real Thing. Thanks for your inspiration.

I had a fantastic time and hope to see you all again next year!

I'm playing a song at Smith's Olde Bar tonight for 500 Songs For Kids, an awesome charity event put on by the Songs for Kids Foundation.
500 SONGS FOR KIDS is a 10-day live music marathon running from May 1st to May 10th at Smith’s Olde Bar in Atlanta, Georgia. We will be counting down the 500 GREATEST SING-A-LONG SONGS OF ALL TIME with 500 DIFFERENT ARTISTS. This will be the largest musician involved charity event ever in Georgia, bringing together roughly 1500 individually performing musicians - all for an incredible cause. Songs For Kids Foundation is a non-profit foundation that enriches the lives of children in need through music. We bring musicians year-round to hospitals, special needs kids camps, and all places where kids are in need.

Please come out and have a great time for a great cause!
Doors open at 6:30, my slot is at 8:15pm.
Admission is ten bucks, 100% for the charity!

Saturday, April 19th is Record Store Day!

Record Store Day is a chance to celebrate your local independent music retailer. Many stores are having in-store events to celebrate. Please take this opportunity to find an independent record store near you and check them out.

Stores in the Atlanta area that are participating:

Circle Sky Records
Criminal Records
And my personal fave, Decatur CD
Please support these great stores, because they support indie artists like me!

You can now listen to your very own "Juliana Finch Radio" on Pandora!

Pandora is an internet radio site run by the very cool Music Genome Project. You request an artist or song to be added to your personal radio station and, based on the qualities of those songs/artists, they predict other music you may like and play it for you.

It's like listening to a commercial-free radio station that plays ONLY songs you love! I listen to it at my "day job" and am really excited to be a part of it now.

After hibernating for the Winter, I'm really excited to get out there and play some shows again.

I have five shows in the next two months and am especially thrilled to participate in the 500 Songs For Kids benefit.

Check out the "on tour" section for details!

"How To Take The Fall" is reviewed in this month's Southeast edition of Performer magazine!

You can pick up the (free) magazine at your local Borders and several other music retailers, or check them out online at http://www.performermag.com .

I've got shows the next two weekends.

THIS Saturday, October 27th!
North Georgia is gorgeous in the Fall, so a drive up to Dahlonega would be well worth it! Crimson Moon is a great venue and I'm opening for an awesome blues act, the Nick Edelstein Band.

and...

I can't wait to be back in Tennessee on Friday, November 2nd. I hope some of you can make it out to Acoustic Coffeehouse!

Ok so this is my first blog entry on the new site! Ta-DA!
