FOLK: Julia Nunes (1/3)
Published by Frank De Blase on Jan 02, 2008
Man, the kids and their YouTube these days. Rochester chick with pick Julia Nunes' talent as a songwriter, guitarist, and ukuleleist (that's what I said) is matched only by a condition she suffers from known medically as "terminus wise assus." With gorgeous pipes that rival the dame that sings when it's all over, lush chording ability, and lyrics full of insight and melody, Nunes already had our attention. But just dig those internet videos as the young lady attacks songs by Destiny's Child, The Killers, Ben Folds, and Weezer with her trusty Uke. Yes, there's tons of irony and it's funny as hell, but Nunes' talent even makes parody somehow beautiful.
Nunes plays with Lauren O'Connell, Cu Cu, and Kirk Stevens Thursday, January 3, at Fairport Village Coffee, 6 N Main St, Fairport, 7:30 p.m., $3, 377-5880.Article Photos
