Julia & France at BBAM! Gallery April 26/14

France has been my Francophone singing partner since the fall of 2012. (That's her on the right in the poster below). We met at choir practice, and both of us knew we were "different" so we gravitated to each other. When we started practicing cover tunes and my originals, we discovered that our voices blended unusually well. I guess it's chemistry, but people never fail to compliment us on our harmony singing.

Our show consists of a blend of 60s-70s covers (Cat Stevens, Beatles, Joni Mitchell, etc.), French covers (Carla Bruni, Luc Plamondon, Francoise Hardy, Richard Seguin), my own originals, plus the work of a few other contemporary songwriters I admire (Jonathan Byrd and Sam Larkin, among others). France plays piano, djembe, recorder, tambourine, and shakers. I play guitar and ukelele.

It seems the formula is working. We had a great turnout at BBAM! Gallery in Montreal yesterday, and have already been invited back. Thank you to Ralph, Allison and Magic for making us feel welcome!
