SYNDICATED RADIO SHOWS BEALE STREET CARAVAN AND MUSIC CITY ROOTS CONFIRMED
Julie Rhodes’ debut album ‘Bound To Meet The Devil’ comes out February 26
but already praise is rolling in for her Etta James-meets-Cary Ann
Hearst vocals, Muscle Shoals, AL production, and great songwriting.
She’s confirmed tapings with syndicated radio shows Music City Roots and
Beale Street Caravan and will be headed to play her first SXSW. What
we’re hearing about Julie:
"Those songs are just perfect."
- Meredith Ochs, SIRIUS XM, January 29, 2016
“A significant new Americana/blues talent.”
- Adrien Begrand, Pop Matters, November 23, 2015
"While Rhodes' vocals evoke blues queens and soul shouters, "Bound to
Meet the Devil" rounds up a range of roots sounds... Part of 'Bound to
Meet the Devil's' charms come from the production and the players, but
Rhodes' songwriting completes the spell. Her songs seem to rise from the
ghosts of '50s blues and '60s soul greats. 'Hurricane' could be
something Otis Redding penned in 1965... I have a feeling she'll be busy
with national tours, trips to Europe and even a few late-night TV
performances."
- Jed Gottlieb, Boston Herald, January 1, 2016
"The blues for a new generation... Rhodes shines... gritty and emotionally raw."
–Elmore, December 17, 2015
“Listen.”
– The Bluegrass Situation, December 10, 2015
"Powerhouse."
- Tara Joan, The Daily Country, February 8, 2016
“Sometimes you hear a song and realize that there's something inherently
special about it, something that elevates it above the rest of its
musical peers. And in regard to New England blues artist Julie Rhodes,
that song is the lead track from her forthcoming debut record, ‘Bound to
Meet the Devil.’ Everything from the tenor of its blues-influenced
tones to the dusty, workingman's blues attitude causes you to suspect
that Rhodes will soon find a much larger audience… There's nothing
synthetic or fraudulent, only a pure determination.”

KRISTIN ANDREASSEN EARNING RAVES FOR GORGEOUS ‘GONDOLIER,’ OUT NEXT WEEK
FIRST SOLO HEADLINING TOUR LAUNCHES NEXT MONTH
Brooklyn multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Kristin Andreassen’s gorgeous new album ‘Gondolier’ is earning raves ahead of its release next week. Featuring guests Chris Eldridge (of the Punch Brothers) and Aoife O’Donovan (the latter of whom will sing with her at Joe’s Pub March 10), ‘Gondolier’ is a full of delights, both melodic and lyrical. Here’s a video preview of the album.
Andreassen will also launch her first solo headlining tour next month with a full band (dates below).
“Whimsical indie-folk style.”
- Caroline Hallemann, Travel + Leisure, February 10, 2014
“Delicate beauty.”
- Chris Parton, CMT Edge, December 4, 2014
“She brought shimmering, breezy vocals and wildly interesting melodies. Her clean, malleable tone reminded me of her colleagues and friends Aoife O’Donovan and Ruth Ungar. But the songs were as personal as a signature.”
- Craig Havighurst, Music City Roots, January 21, 2015
“A beautiful collection of songs.”
- Christian Williams, UTNE Reader, February 3, 2015
“The elegantly understated acoustic pop of Andreassen’s upcoming second solo album, ‘Gondolier,’ is as catchy as anything out there.”
- David Menconi, Raleigh News & Observer, January 15, 2015
“A fantastic collection of ethereal folk tunes, jangly Americana and indie-heavy pop.”
- Cameron Matthews, The Bluegrass Situation, January 27, 2015
"At the start of any year, it’s always a challenge to pick a handful of artists who could break out of the musical pack to make a big impact. This deeply soulful artist is easily one of those."
- Bill Bentley, Morton Report, January 12, 2015
“A collection of gorgeous indie-folk songs”
- Michael Hamad, CTNow (Hartford Courant), December 29, 2014
