And good luck to you

I am very proud of my friend, Juliet Howland, whose debut album “A promise of return” is released for sale on 6th September. On that date I shall add a link to where you can buy the album. This evening a number of friends are attending the launch party. I’ve never been to an album launch party but I imagine that at some point we’ll get to see Juliet climbing atop of one of the amps and smashing her guitar or cello in to the drum kit … or something along those lines. This is folk music, after all, and there are certain standards one expects.

There’s some information about the album at Juliet’s web site. What it doesn’t say on those pages is how proud of Juliet are all her friends who’ll be there tonight, applauding—as she smashes her instruments—the fact that while having a busy “day” job as an actor she has found time to exercise some of her other talents, playing guitar, piano and cello and writing and singing lyrics that are populated by stories sketched with sensitivity, wit and charm.

Good luck to you, Juliet!

Here’s a video of the artist chatting about the album with its producer, Rob Seals. There’s no mention of smashing any instruments; I guess she’s keeping her powder dry.
