So this is growing up.
In Julie Corbalis’ first solo effort, “Old Flames and New Names,” followers of the musician’s career will recognize a more mature Jules than the one they first heard sing at Broadway Station in Astoria, Queens, back in September 2001, when the smoke from 9/11 was still stinging our eyes. Those who are new to her music will be left wondering what they missed all those years.
Those of us who have had the pleasure of knowing her since back before we became ourselves will hear the growth that comes from her living life to the fullest for the past 7 years. If you don’t cry at “Aunt Margaret,” the fifth track on the CD, you should check your pulse. “No Good” evokes images of smoky jazz lounges where women in slinky dresses sing atop pianos (think Michelle Pfiefer in “The Fabulous Baker Boys”). “Should've Stayed Away,” arguably the best song on the album, is a beautiful country ballad that puts to music all the thoughts we’ve found ourselves at the bottom of a bottle of Bud, sitting next to some guy we know is just going to break our hearts. Again.
The album is a departure from the old Jules and the Family vibe. Gone are the feel-good, poppy tunes like,“We say Nothing” and “The Greek Song.” Even “Dolores,” a beautiful song on JATF's first album, doesn’t come close to the raw emotion on this album. Jules has poured her heart and heartbreak into this album and what results is a soulful collection of songs you’ll be nursing your next broken heart to.
Jules has done a lot of traveling thus far on this musical journey. She has grabbed her guitar and performed for crowds throughout Greece (the experience that inspired, of course, "The Greek Song", and toured The Netherlands and Belgium 3 times (brought back by popular demand!) with her good friend and kindred spirit Pat Kelly. Kelly and Corbalis have toured the Northeast US together as well. This past summer Jules even got to serenade a beautiful crowd in Obu City, Japan, to rave reviews.
For 8 years Julie was also the frontwoman of the popular Hudson Valley based band, Jules & the Family. JATF released 2 albums, "Jules & the Family" and "Border Radio", toured festivals and clubs in the Northeast and Ontario Canada. They have shared bills with former Men @ Work frontman Colin Hay, Lazlo Bane, The Village People, and Sister Sledge, among many others. You can find all Jules & the Family music on itunes and CDBaby.

Thanks for your friendship, and for your message. I really enjoy listening your songs: there is a clear groove spirit and an unique energy with all your band: incredible bass & harmonica players !!
I wish you to find your Tacoma back (I think - but I'm not sure - you can inform Fender's site with your guitar's number, to tell that it has been stolen... I don't know if it can help you?). My Tacoma is Baryton (on my avatar) - you can listen it on "Always" - and I have also a Papoose.
