Julia Haltigan & The Hallelujah Peddlers


Julia Haltigan stands out from the crowd. She just needs a chance to be heard.... before people notice the peculiar gift she has. Imagine if Jack White produced Jolie Holland and Holland could wail... you know Haltigan can wail once you give her a listen. She reins her bluesly purr in admirably in "All I Can Think Of Is You", but lets it teasingly slip in my favourite of these two songs, "Green Shirt". Once she gets a full length under her belt I'm hoping to hear some more wailin' blues from Julia Haltigan & The Hallelujah Peddlers.

If you like it when the blues purrs and teases you with it's claws, you'll love this.

    We do have a myspace, but their search engine doesn't really work very well.

    Thanks everyone for such a good response around her music, we're working on an album right now and hope to really get moving with more stuff. For now, hit us up on Myspace.
