I just received word that out artist Julie Schurr will bring her “unique fusion of indie rock and comedy” to the area next week. In fact, she calls it “Indierockbitchfolk.” How’s that for branding your own genre?

I’ll tell you one thing though, comedian or not, this video for “Been So Long” is heartbreaking. Man, I wasn’t expecting this at the end of the day (a day so far without snow, I might add).

Her tour stops at the 1851 Club in Arlington next Friday at 9:30. $5 at the door.
