Tree Lawn welcomes Karrin Allyson and Richard Julian

The end of Summer 2007 brings two new exciting artists to the Tree Lawn. Mutliple-Grammy-Award-nominated vocalist KARRIN ALLYSON and wry folk troubadour RICHARD JULIAN are welcome additions to the Tree Lawn Artists roster. Both artists have early 2008 releases on deck - Karrin with a Brazilian project on Concord and Richard with his sophomore release on EMI/Manhattan. Karrin continues her busy touring schedule this fall while Richard supports Suzanne Vega on the first leg of her US tour which begins this month. We are thrilled to be working with both of these top-notch vocalists.
