Ingrid Michaelson is an artist that I’ve known of for a while, I discovered her music back when I found Sara Bareilles and Jason Mraz. Yet, none of her songs have ever been in any of my playlists. Sure there were a couple of songs (“You and I” and “Turn My Heart to Stone”) that…
On August 28, 2016 we lost a Mexican legend; Juan Gabriel. My heart is heavy, my family is grieving and his music has been playing all morning. Juan Gabriel’s music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. While pre-teen Julie was listening to *NSYNC and Britney Spears, my…

My love for Idina Menzel goes back to 2005; that’s when “Rent” was released and when Maureen completely stole my heart. “Rent” was just the beginning for Idina, her career has been on a rollercoaster that only goes up since then and I have been here for every part of it. Last week Idina released…
Move over Justin Timberlake because I think we found the new Summer Anthem. JoJo making music again isn’t something I realized I needed in my life … until now. We all remember her right? The quick-witted, confident teen that burst into the industry with “Leave (Get Out)”; feel free to also refer to that song as “Julie’s…
I discovered Us The Duo a few years back when I was aimlessly clicking through YouTube videos. I had no idea who they were but I was immediately obsessed; their chemistry and the way they beautifully sang together completely captured my attention. If you are unaware; Us The Duo are Michael and Carissa, who by…
It’s been about 3 or 4 years since John Paul White hit the stage and 3 or 4 years ago it was alongside Joy Williams when he was part of The Civil Wars. Last night was his first solo concert in Los Angeles since the unfortunate demise of The Civil Wars. He showed us that…
