My original music has been taking a back seat lately to my new project, The Julie Duke Band.  We have been rehearsing twice a week, going to open mics and just last Saturday played our first gig at the Bainbridge Island Farmers Market.  We are a five piece group consisting of Jim Londay on bass, Robert Manny on Guitar, John Lester on drums, Brian Barta on guitar and myself on vocals.  This Saturday at 7pm we are putting on a free concert at the Island Music Center on Bainbridge. I am currently working on original songs that we will hopefully play sometime soon...
