Date: 03/26/2025

Time: 5:30 pm

This Wednesday Michael will air an interview with Juliet McConkey on Something New about her recently released second album, Southern Front. This fabulous recordwhich will be played in its entirety, showcases her captivating voice and insightful lyrics. Juliet is a Nelson County native, who has recently moved to Austin, Texas. Please tune in for this special event!

Raised in central Virginia, deep in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Juliet McConkey has always possessed a deep understanding of nature and interpersonal relationships that only comes from a rural upbringing. That is articulated sincerely and thoughtfully in her songwriting. With a voice as singular as they come as the impermeable vessel, her songs are a deep inhale in a world in need of a breath of fresh air.

“Here’s a heart that beats with the pulse of the Blue Ridge Mountains. But it’s Juliet McConkey’s songwriting connecting to the universally heartfelt emotional roller coaster that pierces right through.”—Laurie Gallardo, KUTX Austin
