On her new record ‘Light is a Ghost,’ singer-songwriter Julia Weldon acts as the beating heart behind every good dream that’s worth preserving after the alarm clock goes off. From her tenacious energy in the acoustic vamp ‘All I Gave Her’ to her heart-on-sleeve cover of ‘Somewhere over the Rainbow,’ Julia plays loud, intensely, and almost entirely on her acoustic steel string alone. That takes a certain chutzpah for sure… but somehow she gets you every time. That’s what the best dreams seem to be able to do.
