Take Back America 2007
Session: Make Something Pretty--Use Your Art to Advance a Progressive Agenda
Description
Includes musical presentation by Julie...
It's time to win the culture wars, without heavy-handed proselytizing. If this is what you do, do THIS. "Art" 'til you drop for peace.
Hosted by Julie Christensen, folk-rock singer, who has worked on two tours and records with Leonard Cohen, and participated in the Cohen tributes that made up the documentarty feature "Leonard Cohen-I'm Your Man".
A member of LA's fabled Bohemian Women's Political Alliance in '92 and '93 and host of her own "Stone Cupid Real" blog/digest, Christensen has finished her 4th independent CD, "Where the Fireworks Are":
"the album radiates in poignancy, yet shimmers in sublime beauty. From the heart-wrenching title track, which serves up an aching does of harsh reality, to the cascading piano that drives the plaintive “Something Pretty,” Where the Fireworks Are is a collection of songs spanning the emotional spectrum. It provides an evocative musical chariot for Christensen to weave her vocal magic. "--Brett Leigh Dicks, VC Reporter
