I'm Rosanna Juliano.

And that's who we are.

We've been together now, well, married for 14 years, playin' in this band for 16, 17 years?

We live in the Fargo, Moorhead area, have been living here for 7 years.

I'm originally from Owensboro Kentucky.

I'm from Hoover Alabama.

(Rosanna) Our drummer is Alecxander Garcia, he is Slamabama's regular drummer.

(Jay) Sitting in on bass for us today is Joey Anton, he's a good friend of ours.

(Rosanna) We met musically, he had a band, he was looking for a female singer, so I auditioned.

He likes to tell people he auditioned.

(Jay) I did!

Two days of auditions in Chicago.

Rosanna was my first one on day one and I knew from that moment that she was the voice that I had been looking for.

Did not know that this was the ring finger I was looking for, but that happened as well.

Yeah, then we really connected, and we still do in writing songs.

You may have seen us out at Slamabama doing our cover band show, but we are passioned in our, where we really connected from the beginning, it's where we ended up falling in love, honestly, is our songwriting.

We love to write.

We've written 3 albums.

It runs the gamut from super fun to super emotional, and we love all of it.

Yeah, we hope you see the detail and the love and the care that we put into every single word of our songs.
