Julie Corbalis: Links

Bands/Songwriters

Meaghan Farrell: Don't miss Meaghan's brand new album "Waitress" produced by Jules & the Family alum Marc Osborn. I like to describe Meaghan's sound as Rent meets Power Pop. Like if Pink or Kelly Clarkson were on Broadway. It's quite impressive.
Stanley Maxwell: Connecticut-based four-piece Stanley Maxwell plays original music that blends (among many other influences) jazz, funk and rock with tight arrangements and intricate group improvisation.
Julie Corbalis Music: Julie's MySpace Music page!
Jules and the Family: This is the Jules & the Family band MySpace page.
Music Town: Looking for a singer? Percussion? Guitarist? Check out musicians' resumes or post your own! (Coming soon in English!)
Bryan Gordon: Bryan is one of my favorite songwriters. His lyrics are honest and funny, and he's never happy without a good hook of a guitar line.
Scott Urgola: Scott is a talented friend who is releasing a new record in February! Check my calendar for details.
Pat Kelly: Pat is the quintessential working musician. His influences include Springsteen, Billy Joel and all of the Traveling Wilburys. Currently on location in Denmark.
The Strip: Hopefully we can get these Torontonians down stateside sometime soon in 2010! Roots rocks, gorgeous 3-part harmonies, and all around nice dudes!
Marc Osborn: Besides being a great friend and bandmate for 7 years, Marc has an established solo career playing piano and bass, as well as working as a producer.
Rob Scheps: Rob is a world renowned saxophonist and flautist. He lent his skills on the Border Radio tune "Without You"!
Andy Mullen: Check out Andy's new album: THE TOENAIL JAR. Andy is a fellow teacher who happens to be one helluva squaredance caller!
Cherish the Ladies: One of my favorite Irish traditional bands, and extended "Family" members - frontwoman Joanie Madden is John Madden's sister! Joanie helped us out with her whistle on "Spinning"!
The Cuban Cowboys: Fun, Cuban, surf-rock! We first met them @ Kenny's Castaway years ago, and have been following them ever since.
Katie Marie: Katie is a cool singer/songwriter/session musician from the U.K. A great acoustic sound.
Rubber Soul: Rubber Soul is a fantastic Beatles tribute band! They have left no Beatle nuance unturned, belting gorgeous harmonies and spot-on guitar solos.
The Marauders: Talented rockabilly cats from Ebensburg, PA, who have opened for the one and only Brian Setzer! More importantly, they've got a new album out & they're really great guys!
Cassandra Frake: Cassie has a cool, jazzy vibe and writes lovely original tunes.
Chris Foley
Dana Edelman: I really enjoy Chris's subtle electric lead guitar coupled with Dana's acoustic, soulful sound.
Putnam Music Center: Need guitar strings? Music lessons? Gig gear? Putnam Music Center is one stop shopping for all music needs. Gus and the gang are much more helpful than the big chain music stores, and they do a lot to support local musicians as well!
The Prodigals: A fantastic bunch of guys who play awesome Irish Rock & Roll!!
Marcell: A fantastic Belgian musician responsible for my Belgian Summer tour 2006. Marcell has quite a following in Flanders, Belgium (he knows everybody!), and it was a complete pleasure and honor to share gigs with him this past August. Album highlight: "Plastic Jesus."
Hope Machine: Fred Gillen, Steve Kirkman and friends have recorded a few good old Americana protest songs!
Jamie Shields: Check out Jamie's haunting cover of some old school Blind Melon! This incredible singer/songwriter is back in NY and ready to rock! Jamie really inspired me to pick up the guitar and start writing, over a decade ago.
Tosser: Tosser's calendar is always filled with rockin' dates throughout NYC. They are Astoria's best party rock band, playing great modern and classic rock hits!
Two Guitars: Check out Brian and Gus, a fantastic acoustic jazz/pop/rock/blues duo! Guitar playing at its finest.
Naya Tabia: Naya is the quintessential entertainer: singer/songwriter/choreographer/dancer...among many other talents. She's also a GREAT teacher!
Brian Conigliaro: Brian does a fantastic acoustic jazz show around Westchester with our good friend and great musician, Gus Wieland. "Two Guitars" is an awesome combination of jazz prowess, acoustic sensibility, and excellent obscure gems. The originals rock, too!
A Few 2 Many: I just read about these awesome teenagers doin' their thang in Northern Westchester. Not only do they rock, but they do it for good causes TOO! Good luck guys and keep rockin!
Soulstream: Check out my good friend Justin O'leary's fantastic band Soulstream. It's radio-friendly hard rock!
Not For Nothing: One of my brother's bands. If you like Tool, you'll love NFN.
