She Is Jules’ latest track ‘twice’ is a bittersweet pop ballad, releasing on her upcoming album, Synesthesia, representing the color blue.
Indie-pop artist/songwriter Julianna Isabella Pollifrone, or “She Is Jules,” was born and raised in the small mountain town of Los Gatos in Northern California. She developed a passion for poetry and “her words came alive when she was given an acoustic guitar for Christmas at 8 years old, melding her expression of writing with music.”
She Is Jules released her first song in 2015 at just 17 years old. Her vibe shifted from acoustic to electronic music after being influenced by artists like Taylor Swift, Lorde, and Imagine Dragons.
With an ethereal ambient pop backing, her latest single ‘twice’ is full of heart. The lyrics explore a broken relationship, where one side betrays the other over and over. “Twice is far too many times,” she sings. Musically, the song is cool, creating a sparking soundscape that encapsulates the listener.

By this point in his life, Foghat founding drummer Roger Earl has visited quite a few doctors. But what may be surprising is that the percussionist, 77, is quick to point out that many of the medical professionals who have worked on him also enjoy rocking out.
“Nearly all the doctors and surgeons I know, they all play something: trumpet, sax, violin, guitar,” Earl said recently. “There’s not too many drummers that are surgeons, there’s probably a good reason for that!”
Earl half-jokingly invites his surgeon-rockers to join him and the other members of Foghat onstage at the Fillmore in Silver Spring March 9, where they will be headlining the Rock and Roll for Children Foundation benefit for the Children’s Inn at NIH. Earl, the only original member of Foghat still in the band, will be banging the skins behind guitarist Bryan Bassett and other members Scott Holt and Rodney O’Quinn. “Slow Ride,” the band’s 1975 megahit, is all but assured to be on the setlist, along with tunes from Foghat’s most recent record, “Sonic Mojo.”
