New Website Launched

I've launched a new comprehensive website http://www.juliehanks.com/ where you can find all information about my music, counseling, relationship advice, events, and blog and will be updated weekly! This site will be discontinued so please follow me at http://www.juliehanks.com/

Happy New Year!

New Site/New CD Coming (sort of)

New Website - I'm working on a new website that will integrate all aspects of my life - music, TV segments, therapy, relationship articles, speaking, family life, etc. Fingers crossed that it will launch by the end of the year!

New CD is a "best of" with 2 NEW songs. I'm itching to get back into the studio with my favorite producer John Hancock to record these new songs. I've been performing the song "God's Signature" for the past few years at my women's workshops, though it hasn't been recorded, and I'm finishing up the second song this week. Release date is May 2010.

A peek into my "other" life

Some of you may not know that in addition to being a musician, I'm also a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and director of Wasatch Family Therapy clinic. While they may seem like separate "careers" you can easily see the overlap in the intregal themes in my songwriting: relationships, emotional well-being, and self-exploration...make sense

Though most of my TV appearances have been musical performances, throughout the last 2 years I focused on finding ways to use the media to teach relationship skills and emotional health. After a short hosting stint on KJZZ's "Home Team", I began contributing segments on KSL's morning show "Studio 5". Here are several topics covered this year. If any catch your eye click through to watch video & read web article.

Co-writing

Most of my co-writing experiences have been me taking my songs to someone else to help me refine them, but last Sat. I had the chance to co-write with a amazingly talented artist helping him refine his original songs. I wasn't sure how it would go. Four hours flew by and I was blown away by his fresh style, amazing voice & piano skills, and his humor. Can't wait to introduce you to his music (his tentative album release is next Spring). In the process I realized that I actually had learned a few things about the songwriting process over the past 25 years.

"Make Enough of Me" Music Video

Watch my one and only music video "Make Enough of Me" online. My friend Butch Adams (photographer/videographer/editor) and I shot this one day a few of years ago. Enjoy!
