The frontman of the Grammy-nominated rock group Rival Sons has made this debut solo album.

It’s been a decade since this Vermont singer/songwriter last released a full-length album, though she’s kept herself busy with new motherhood, collaborations like Bonny Light Horseman with Josh Kaufman, and of course Hadestown, her smash Broadway hit that’s won numerous Tony, Grammy, and other awards. Beautiful compositions here, that Julian will feature between 8 and 9pm.

She’s been a federal prosecutor, a Starbucks, White House and military attorney, an Army Airborne veteran, and an activist. But here she digs into jazz, Americana, and “soul-grass” with these songs that cover race relations and the pandemic in these modern times.
