. BIOGRAPHY .

 

CHECK OUT "HEART," A STOP ANIMATION MUSIC VIDEO PLAYING AT MYSPACE.COM/JULIAANDTHEUNEXPECTEDS OR AT FILMCLICKS.COM Julia was a born writer, dictating poetry before she could use a pen; she was also a natural singer and performer. Though her mother was a pianist and her father a guitarist, Julia didn't begin playing guitar or writing music until 2003 after she had completed a degree in Journalism.

 

From 2003-2005, Julia toiled away finishing a master's degree in education while composing music. In fall of 2005, Julia began playing with a few of Colorado's top musicians. Using Julia's songs, Julia and the Unexpecteds was born. The band quickly became well known for its ever-dynamic and unusual sound that has been described as flirty, smart, candid, and commanding.

 

In November 2006, Julia and the Unexpecteds completed the debut CD "All I Want". Shortly after, they began recording the second CD, but Julia became distracted by a very unexpected musical meandering. The story goes: Julia "was in her friend's backyard one afternoon watching bugs swirl around in the sun when a song about quantum physics jumped to mind." She recorded it. Following the recording of that song "Quantum Physics 101, " several other - nearly improvisational - solo songs were recorded. When finished, Julia realized she had written a concept CD that she now calls "a coffee table drama." The CD/book is sold as a bootleg, but Julia continues to work on a refined version. That project inspired more solo performances, though occasionally Julia performs with the Unexpecteds.
