Profiled recently on KPBS about her freshly-minted 5 million streams for Subway Song, Julianna Zachariou is known for her mission to queer the American songbook. A Sacramento transplant by way of Nashville and San Diego, her fans and collaborators include Madison Cunningham, Caroline Kingsbury, and Ny Oh.
Last summer, after a $32k GoFundMe campaign, Zachariou recorded her forthcoming album in rural Wales with Blondshell's Jeff Frantom, Voka Gentle's Ellie Mason, and a field full of sheep. The resulting record, Dreamer Dreamer, is a playful, dizzy, experimental-pop smorgasbord. Somewhere between Neil Young, Alison Krauss, with a little Demis Roussos for good measure, Zachariou's DIY aesthetics shine through. On One Punch, Zachariou holds court with a breathless 5/4 time signature, on the circular Digital Paper, pots and pans replace drums.
Zachariou is joined by Lucky Kilmartin.
