June fun comin' at ya!

We are really looking forward to an amazing summer of singing, playing, dancing and just having a great fun time!  We've got quite a few shows coming up and really look forward to seeing everybody there!

First up in June - on the 8th - we'll be bringing the party to the Ogden Arts Festival.  This is always an amazingly fun time.  We'll be hitting the stage at 5pm, right after our good friends Hectic Hobo, and will close the event with a Gypsy punk bash that is guaranteed to get you up on your feet and dancing.  This is a family friendly event, so grab the kidlettes and come on out! 

Then, on June 15 we'll be hitting The Woodshed in Salt Lake City with our new friends Bombshell Academy and Ten Dervishes for a night of jam, Gypsy punk & power ska under the stars!  It will be a full on party of excitement and insanity, danced by fire and beauty!  This is only for those who are 21 or older. 

And on June 22 we return to the steps of the City-County Building for the Utah Arts Festival.  We'll start making music at 7pm.  As always, we will have the area's most intoxicatingly beautiful and talented belly dancers with us.  This is another family friendly event, so bring everybody!  And let your little ones dance!

Party time at Brewskis

Pizza, beer, friends, and great music.  Life just doesn't get much better than that!  And this past Saturday we were lucky enough to have just that.

We had such an amazingly fun time playing a show at Brewskis in Ogden with our good friends FOLK HOGAN.  We were surrounded the whole night be wonderful friends and fans who have become like family to us, and we met many more fabulous new friends that we are so looking forward to seeing at future shows.  "Mayhem" just doesn't even begin to describe the fun!

Happy Shopping Season!

“Christmas is coming!  The goose is getting fat!  Please put a penny in the old man’s hat.”  

Well, ok.  Maybe a bit more than a penny and maybe not in his hat.  And, honestly, it doesn’t even have to be for Christmas.  It could be for Chanukah or Yule or Kwanza or Thursday or whatever wonderful holiday of the season it is that you celebrate.  But whatever day it is, we strongly encourage you to support your local bands and buy directly from them.  And they have a lot to offer - CDs, t-shirts & hoodies, shot glasses, posters, and lots of other super cool stuff.  And get the joy and satisfaction of knowing that you helped make a whole group of musicians very happy on top of it all!

Salt Lake City Witches' Ball

Juana Ghani will be playing at the Salt Lake City Witches' Ball at Bar Deluxe (666 S. State Street) this Saturday, OCTOBER 27th.  This will be THE party to attend this Hallowe'en.  Performing with Juana Ghani will be the amazing, beautiful, and bewitching Lunar Collective, Davina Tribal Collective, Thia, and Jennifer Long-Pratt.  Other performers for the night include Banjara, Eevil Kim, Triple Moon Tribe, Oriental Dansi, Stephanie Buranek, DIA, Beaute Derangee and many, many more!  Also playing at the Witches' Ball will be instrumental metal band Cornered by Zombies.  AND (yes, it gets even better!) this is a costume party!  The theme of the night is "Black Lace and White Magic" and there will be a HUGE grand prize presented to the "Baddest Witch."  So get your witchily bad self all dressed up and come party with us 'til the ghosts come home!



This will be our last show for awhile.  After such an amazing year, we're going to catch our breath for a couple months and work on some new material, new members, and a whole new experience.  It's all going to be so amazing!

Looking forward to seeing Saturday!

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!
