FrancestownMiss Julieann performs Aug. 11

The Francestown Old Meeting House and the George Holmes Bixby Memorial Library announce that Miss Julieann, an award-winning children’s musician and therapist, will perform on Aug.11 as part of the “Sundays at 4” free concert series.

Julieann Hartley is a board certified music therapist, nature educator, illustrator and children's musician who brings coping skills to her songs and a roots-infused attitude with a therapeutic focus. Her songs celebrate children just as they are and lays a foundation for developing resilience skills.

After obtaining degrees in both music therapy and psychology, Hartley graduated from Anna Maria College as valedictorian. After many years working as a community music therapist, she released her first children’s album, "Therapeutic Songs for Kids,” which won a 2019 Parents' Choice Award. She is currently focusing on putting together content for other therapists, teachers and parents to be able to help children develop the resilience skills they need to overcome life's challenges.

Hartley  also works to introduce children to nature and wild foods. In addition to doing concerts with children, she loves to run workshops on safely foraging for wild foods and acorn processing.

Attendees can bring a picnic, lawn chairs or blankets for the sixth summer 2024 event on the lawn of the Francestown Old Meeting House from 4 to 5 p.m.. In case of rain, the concert will move indoors.
