Charlie Cheney is a former Madisonian now living in mainland Michigan. "Call-and-response Cab Calloway with an acoustic guitar." He plays uptempo good time music with the occasional heart-wrenching tune to change the pace and give the audience a moment to reflect on the joys of life.

"With elements of R&B, trance, electronica and soul, Julia Brown-s first record succeeds as a fresh and vital update of modern, intelligent pop music. Maintaining a steady diet of Elvis Costello, Neil Finn, and Andy Partridge from her earliest development (and I do mean early - Brown began writing songs at age 12, extending her repertoire to 100 originals by age 16), the NYC-based artist wears her influences well. However, while each of these consummate songwriters seem always somehow present, they serve merely as starting points for Brown-s fully-realized, groove-inflected storytelling." - Performing Songwriter
