JULIANA MACDOWELL is a sonically sensational, sensitive singer who unflaggingly delivers spirited performances at every show. "If music is truly a healing force, MacDowell is its epitome," says Jim Hynes, Elmore Magazine. There is a finish when she releases a note; it stays with you. Whether performing with illustrious D.C. guitarist, Mike Ault, or her band, The Agreeables, Juliana draws listeners in with her velvety vocals. She splits her time between the hills and hollers of Loudoun County, VA and the relaxing and riotous rock of Key West, FL.. Juliana MacDowell’s soulful Americana counters some of the lightness and darkness in life through effortlessly poetic lyrics guiding the stories she needs to tell. - Tine Benitez-Eves, American Songwriter
Juliana recorded her latest album at Nashville's Ocean Way Studios with Grammy producer/engineer, Bil VornDick (Alison Krauss, Ralph Stanley, Bela Fleck). "Big Old Yellow Moon" is a collection of mini-masterpieces spanning from beguiling ballads to southern-swamp blues. The album's title track offers a palatable pairing of 1940s-style lilting vocal melodies and island-inspired musical motifs - a nod to Juliana's beloved Key West life.

“Juliana MacDowell has a great instrument with which to communicate and can belt it out or be soft and intimate - pitch perfect with a depth of resonance regardless of dynamic. There is a finish when she releases a note; it stays with you. ”
EARLIER WORKS: Conch Town Records signed Juliana's second album, Leaving Home, featuring a cast of prodigious players from across the globe. With award-winning songs like "All Those Things" and "Two Kinds of People," Juliana's work gained traction beyond the east coast where she got her start.
Multi Wammie-award-winner, Marco Delmar, produced Juliana's freshman album, "Take Me Away" - a collection of covers and originals featuring radio fave, "Gotta Roll" - a cheeky rock thrill ride about a woman breaking out of stifling societal structure.
“Juliana reminds me a lot of the late Eva Cassidy in that, like Eva, she seems incapable of singing an ill-advised note or taking a song in the wrong direction. Unlike too many performers for whom it’s all about them, Juliana respects the song and her role of communicator. And she has a great instrument with which to communicate. ” - SJ
