Julianna Riolino Live at the Broom Factory

Julianna Riolino knows how to capture and highlight beauty before it fades. On her debut LP, ‘All Blue,’ Riolino reflects on her own past and the memories of pain, healing, and love strewn through it. The songs focus on morality and the stretch of time, seeping naturally into Riolino’s Americana-indebted songwriting, resulting in a golden and fluid debut.

Blending past and present musically represents Riolino’s own experience as well; the songs written over a period of years, their meanings picking beyond that stretch and pulling lessons forward. And in that process, her philosophical lyrics bring that complexity forward to the listener in surreally sweet melodies, pouring growth and healing directly through the ear and into the heart.

Avid KCFF fans will recognize Riolino’s track “Against The Grain” from Blain Watters’ 25 Years 25 Minutes-winning film SINGLE WOMAN SEEKING CHILD. We’re thrilled to bring her to the Broom during the Festival. The evening will start with a set from Kingston’s own Kyra & her band!
