Rain Perry’s “Beautiful Tree” was the theme for the CW Network’s Life Unexpected, on which she also had the surreal pleasure of appearing as herself. She has released four albums on her own Precipitous Records, as well as writing and touring a solo play about her childhood called Cinderblock Bookshelves: A Guide For Children of Fame-Obsessed Bohemian Nomads. In 2016 she directed The Shopkeeper, her first film. "Let's Be Brave," her new album about the fire, real and metaphorical, comes out April 26th.

A veteran of Leonard Cohen's bands, and the alt-roots Divine Horsemen in the LA post-punk scene, Julie Christensen has also sung with many other fine artists including Lou Reed, John Doe, Steve Wynn, and Van Dyke Parks.
Julie Christensen’s story is woven into decades of the fabric of underground and roots rock ’n’ roll. Julie tells her stories, conveying the beauty of suffering with a subtlety that has become her signature,  no matter what the genre they are sung in. "One of the truer singers you’ll ever hear — straight up, no mannerisms, perfect taste; recognize how she could sing with both Leonard Cohen and Chris D." LA WEEKLY

Julie  co-fronted post-punk rockers Divine Horsemen, and is a veteran of Leonard Cohen's bands and the documentary "Leonard Cohen-I'm Your Man".   “A Sad Clown,” is her seventh record; an acoustic yet gritty offering of her own music and a few gems by fellow East Nashville friends Tim Easton and Darrin Bradbury; and a stunning interpretation of Tom Waits’ Hold On that only Julie can deliver. “A Sad Clown” held the number one spot on Alternate Root, and is her second album with Stone Cupid  -  regulars Sergio Webb, Chris Tench, and Steve Latanation - and Jeff Turmes (Mavis Staples) returning on the bass. She also spent time as a jazz chanteuse, tours, has performed and recorded in the studio with Steve Wynn, Van Dyke Parks, John Doe, Exene Cervenka, Alejandro Escovedo.  In September 2018, Julie was inducted into the Iowa Rock ’n’ Roll Hall of Fame in the “Women Who Rock” category, an honor she will share with 2015 inductee Wanda Jackson. Divine Horsemen are rebooting and  releasing a single July 10, 2020, and have an album in the can for release later in the year.
"Her swagger is true to her rebellious punk-rock roots, and refined through working with the likes of Cohen, Iggy Pop, Public Image Limited..." Christensen has worn coats of many different colors, and this one's red.” No Depression 

“With a background that includes gothic cowpunks Divine Horsemen and two tours as Leonard Cohen’s backing singer, Christensen has no problems bending musical boundaries. Here there’s East Nashville back porch country, tattooed barroom rock (Honey Let’s Go To Town): a lovely, Blue Valentine-esque ballad (Like Nothing Hurts), as well as a fine cover of Tom Waits’ Hold On. - Sylvie Simmons, MOJO

"Julie Christensen is a singer who paints the moon every time she gets near a microphone. Maybe that's because songs run through her veins, whether she writes them or chooses them. It's not hard to discover today who's up there on the tightrope risking their lives to stay in the music business, because for them there is no other way to live. This lady has been singing a long time, but on A SAD CLOWN Christensen sounds as new as tomorrow. Her heart is pounding, her ears are glowing and her voice remains a miracle. And she'll take you there too." - Bill Bentley, author/writer/A&R 

"You have wrought another thing of beauty and guts and all the good stuff of which you are made! Really wonderful— (A Sad Clown) the songs, the vocals, the band vibe. You are on a roll, my dear.”    Joe Woodard (Rolling Stone, LA Times)
 
“Julie Christensen is a Nordic Zephyr. Get her!” Van Dyke Parks

“Julie is gold. Solid. Gold.”  Chuck Prophet

"It was her ability to sing with conviction in a variety of approaches that made her extraordinary to me." Todd Rundgren

“Julie Christensen’s music is deep and wide and speaks of experience. Her voice has amazing range, her own songs are little gems and her choice in material is assured. Wherever she is taking you, you’ll want to go.”  Jeff Turmes (Mavis Staples Band)

Fergus Maximus is that guy with his headphones on long after the playlist has finished, completely oblivious because there's always music in his head anyway. His early plans to run away and join the circus were thwarted by a lack of openings for half-baked gorillas though he's since put those skills to use in various party bands and as frontman for Adelaide pop/rockers Stumbletrip (currently slumbering). He's done temp and contract work in almost every industry, backpacked around the world and a few years ago packed up his wife and kids in the 4WD and drove around Australia.

Ferg's unapologetic pop songs encompass all the important things: love, loss, mistakes, surprises, people's astonishing capacity to miscommunicate and the mystery surrounding that curious old woman down the street. And eggplants, of course.

You will find nestled here, for your delectation and enjoyment, some extraordinary snapshots from an ordinary life. And tasting them you may just discover that "ordinary" is in the eye (or perhaps the tastebuds) of the beholder.

In the mid 2000s, singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Sufjan Stevens said he was going to make on album for all 50 US states, but he gave up after 2 albums because he's a coward. In March of 2020, I banded together with the goofs of the internet while under quarantine to finish this project once and for all.

Independent Review for "A Game of Swans" from Marc Higgins (Northern Sky Magazine):  "Eleven songs and an instrumental to close, this is an album of smooth Folk Blues and Country by a fine vocalist and songwriter. It flows around you, comfortable, comforting, well crafted and warming, like a familiar vintage coat on a fresh woodland walk. "  January 2019

I'm a performing songwriter based in Seattle originally hailing from Central Oklahoma.  My latest CD is "Roses Guide To Time Travel" (2010 Rose Rock Records).  New cd in the works now "A Game of Swans".

"Dillon has a quiet laid back approach, but she doesn’t have to hoot and holler loudly to get her message across. ‘Sweet Honey’ has echoes of Vika and Linda, ‘Last Train On The Line’ chugs along to emphasise the train theme, ‘Desert Song’ revisits Gram and Emmylou territory and ‘No Goodbyes’ references not only Paul Kelly but also Townes van Zandt."
