An Interview with Juliana Frangella about her album "Fantastic Funeral"

 The first time I saw Juliana Frangella perform on stage she was opening for a Mike Montrey record release show at the Belmar Arts Center.

She's been releasing singles from her upcoming album, Fantastic Funeral, which has a rock side and a folk side, and I reached out to her to learn more.
