Newsletter – Autumn 2012

Hello, Everybody!

Before I get into things, I want to say a big thank you to everybody who has signed up for our newsletter from Jango.com, reverbnation.com, our website at juanaghani.com and in person at our shows.  You are all so beautiful!  Thank you all so much!  And welcome to the family!

Now on to the good stuff!  It’s been an amazingly busy and wonderful summer for Juana Ghani.  We’ve played some fabulous events and venues and met some incredible people.  And we released our first full-length CD “Shall We Live Forever” in July.  We are so touched and feel so much love from all the wonderful people who have bought the CD and had such incredibly nice things to say about it.  

  

Along with the release of this CD, Brian published a book – “Kasojeni Bay” – at the same time.  

 

You can pick up both at any of our shows or buy them on the web from a multitude of online retailers including our own Juana Ghani store – http://juanaghani.com/shop.htm

Right on the heels of an amazing summer, we have an incredible autumn in the works.  In fact, it seems October will be the Month of Juana Ghani.  Here’s the schedule:

• Wednesday, September 26  -  Urban Lounge (241 S. 500 E.)  -  We have the mind-blowing opportunity to play with the world-renowned Bloodshot Records artist Firewater who are touring the United States for the first time in 4 years!  Firewater has been one of our biggest inspirations since day 1 and we are so excited for this show.
• Tuesday, October 2 -  Bar Deluxe (666 S. State)  -  We’ll be sharing the night with the darkly quirky Hellblinki who are coming to SLC all the way from Asheville, North Carolina.  This will be the perfect night to kick off your Hallowe’en season!
• Friday, October 5  -  Fat’s Grill (2182 S. Highland Dr.)  -  The entire night will be Juana Ghani!  And admission is FREE!  It doesn’t get much better.
• Saturday, October 13  -  Bar Deluxe (666 S. State)  -  Utah’s most exciting and mind-blowing Gypsy punk bands will be coming together for the very first time to bring you TRIFECTA!  We are teaming up with other local legends Hectic Hobo and FOLK HOGAN for a night of complete mayhem.  It will absolutely be a night to talk about for ages and ages to come!  You can buy advance tickets at http://www.folkhogan.com/the-shows/trifecta/ and a get a free song download from each band in the process!


• Saturday, October 20  -  Crone’s Hollow (2470 S. Main St.)  -  Our only “family friendly” show of the month.  This night will be a Gypsy Masquerade, so make sure you come in full costume!
• Saturday, October 27  -  Bar Deluxe (666 S. State)  -  We are super excited to play this year’s Witches Ball at Bar Deluxe.  This is the spookiest, sexiest costume party of the year!  This year’s theme:  White Magic and Black Lace.

Beginning in November, we will be working on brand new material with some brand new members of our Juana Ghani family!  It’s a very exciting time, indeed, for all of us and we can’t wait for the grand unveiling.  

Have a wonderful autumn!  Come to a show!  And absolutely come up and say hello to us!

Happy Holidays and New Live Shows! (Newsletter; Dec. 6, 2010)

Hello, Everybody!

Things have been pretty crazy here in the world of Juana Ghani.  The new website is closer to being ready for its unveiling, new songs are in the making, new partnerships are in those giddy-goofy-flirty stages, and we've been rehearsing long and hard, getting ready for our upcoming debut performances.  Which brings me to the main purpose of this letter:  UPCOMING PERFORMANCES!

This Friday evening, December 10th, we will be playing a set at The Coffee Shop (4013 West 12600 South).  Look for us to start around 8:30pm.  This is a FREE show (tips are gratefully and happily accepted) and the whole family is welcome - even the little kidlettes (unless it's past their bedtime).

Then on Wednesday, December 15th, we will be a part of the Utah Musicians 1st Anniversary Show at Liquid Joe's (1249 East 3300 South) in Salt Lake City, Utah.  Dancing along with our own stunning Natassia, we will be joined by the beautiful and talented ladies of Black Star Belly Dance.  You don't want to miss that!  We will be 1 of 4 bands playing that night so make sure and tell them at the door that you're there to see JUANA GHANI.  Even better, send us an email with your name - and those of the people coming with you - and we'll put you on a list to get in the door for $3 cover.  Doors open at 7pm.  Must be over 21.

Unfortunately, our euphonium player, Patrick, will be leaving us after the Liquid Joe's show and moving home to Michigan.  We'll miss him, but we wish him the very best. 

That about wraps things up for now.  Until next time (rumors of art shows and hookah abound!), Happy Holidays from all of us!

Budmo!

P.S.  We are currently auditioning for sousaphone/tuba, trombone, trumpet, fiddle, additional percussion (bodhran, cajon, dohl, djembe, etc.), and additional female vocals.  If you live in the Salt Lake City area, are over 21 and are interested in joining the Juana Ghani family, please contact us at juanaghani@gmail.com and tell us about yourself and what instrument(s) you play.
