From Medfield musician to Nashville pop-star

Medfield’s Julia Adrian never thought she’d end up here. Adrian is a Nashville-based pop music performer and songwriter. Since the release of her debut EP, an EP with potential, Adrian has begun to make a name for herself in the Nashville music scene, performing at beloved venues like “The End” and festivals like “Musician’s Corner”. Her work blends humor and honesty to capture the complicated experience of modern life and has attracted listeners from all over the world across platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. Now, flying high off the release of her latest EP, sorry for the lag time, Adrian is looking forward to the rest of her career as a pop artist in Nashville, while at the same time looking back to her roots at home in Medfield.

These 7 Massachusetts Taverns Have Been Pouring Beer And Serving Bar Pies Since Before You Were Born
