SOHO To Offer Stage
3rd Annual Julian Garden Tour Tickets are going on sale shortly for the 3rd Annual Julian Garden Tour on June 13th from 8am to 2pm! Here's a garden teaser to get you hooked: Hummingbird Hacienda was started in 1990 with the help of local Master Gardeners, Sally Snipes and the late Carol Naggy. The design is a zero-scape garden with native species that don't require watering. The garden has been surviving on its own ever since with just a little pruning. The native species flower naturally and encourage the presence of native pollinators and hummingbirds. The Mission, adobe ruins, monks, bread oven, rock walls and wine cellar were done by Vincente Guerrero.
Parade T-shirts Are Here!
What would the Julian Fourth of July be without the t-shirts? No worry, they have arrived and are now being offered for sale at shops in town. The striking blue and red shirts, designed by Leslie Crouch, reflect this year’s parade theme: Star Spangled Salute. They are available at the following shops: Julian Yesteryears, Jack’s Grocery, Julian Café, Nickel Beer, the Corner Market, and Wet Duck Design. They are selling for $15 each this year. But this year you have an opportunity to buy last year’s shirt. Due to the fire that caused cancellation of the 2014 parade, very few of the Grand Old Flag shirts were sold. They are a piece of parade history, as they display of an image of the unfurled flag on the parade route in 2013. They belong in any flag lover’s collection. You can get the 2014 shirts for $5 individually and $2 each with any purchase of the 2015 shirts. As usual, t-shirts will be on sale before and during the Fourth of July parade.

Enjoy the only such stage ride event in the country, a truly one of a kind experience! The Butterfield Overland stage transported thousands of passengers across the United States years prior to the Civil War as California's first regular overland stage connection with St. Louis. Here is your opportunity to experience a rare event, a stagecoach ride through history. Your adventure begins at the historic Warner-Carrillo Ranch House museum. Built in 1857, the ranch house served as the Butterfield Stage Stop, although that is just one part of its multilayered history, it is one of the most important aspects of the site. The adobe home tells the story of the emigrant trail, the overland stage, and the prominent ranching history of the area. The journey will take approximately 15 to 20 minutes round-trip and includes a guided tour of the ranch house before or after each stage ride and light refreshments of lemonade and cookies will be included. Saturday, May 10 • 12-4pm, Tickets must be purchased in advance - http://www.sohosandiego.org/main/event_stage050915.htm or Call (619) 297-9327, $25 SOHO Members • $35 Non-members Warner-Carrillo Ranch House, 29181 San Felipe Road, Warner Springs (On the S2/ half mile east of the 79 junction).

PERMIT NO. 30 JULIAN, CA
Please join us for a fabulous concert of the Tall Men Group on Saturday, May 9 at 1:00 p.m. These six men are extremely talented songwriters. They are also musicians, musical producers, performers and musical instructors. The TMG is comprised of Marty Axelrod, Severin Browne, Jeff Kossack, John Stowers, Ed Tree and Jimmy Yessian, are bringing their show from Los Angeles for an encore event after performing here just over a year ago. The Julian Library is one of two venues they will be performing in San Diego and ours is free! How did this group come together? Jimmy Yessian pitched the group collaborative for he and five others and their first gathering was in January 2012. Each month a songwriting challenge is proposed based on a variety of themes: phone numbers, fears, historical events, loss, The Beatles... The songs that emerged from those challenges inspired us and we wanted to share them with all of you, so we morphed into a live performing and touring act. Yessian says, “The TMG live show is rich with brotherly rapport, humor, well-crafted harmonies, captivating stories and fine musicianship, but first and foremost, we are about the songs.” For more information, visit their website at www.tallmengroup.weebly.com or on their Facebook page. The TMG’s second CD, “2 Tall” will be released later this month. .
Local Cider Makers Score Big With Julian Fruit
from Stan Sisson
Local homebrewers have been doing very well in competitions using juice from fruit grown in Julian orchards. This reinforces the feeling among long time Julian residents that fruit from the local orchards is superior to fruit from other areas. All of the winners used juices from the 2014 harvest season. Brian Kenner spearheaded the effort to supply local juice to the homebrewing community. As part of that effort, he measured and recorded the sugar and acid levels of the juice pressed in his barn, and compared it with published data from the same varieties grown in other areas. Julian fruit showed higher sugar levels in nearly all cases, sometimes much higher levels. The homebrewers took the juice, fermented it into hard ciders, and then entered the ciders into competitions, both local and around the country. The competitions entered so far are America’s Finest City Homebrew Competition (AFC) which is judged in San Diego, the 1st Round of the National Homebrew Competition (NHC), which has 12 judging centers around the country, and the Great Lakes International Cider and Perry competition (GLINTCAP) which is judged in Grand Rapids, MI. The results are very encouraging, here are some of the winners. At AFC, Jacob Bauch took Silver with a Standard Cider using juice from Julian Cider Mill. Brian Banbury took Silver with a Perry in the Specialty Cider category, using Bartlett juice from the Kenner Ranch. At NHC, Derek Springer took Bronze with a Common Cider made with mixed apples from the Storum Ranch, at the San Diego judging center. Larry Stein took Silver with a Fruit Cider using Blacktwig juice from the Ranchita Del Reo orchard, and Bronze with a Common Cider, also with Blacktwig from Ranchita Del Reo, at the Sacramento judging center. Stan Sisson took Bronze with a New England Cider, using Golden Russet from the Storum Ranch, and Gold with a Cyser using Hyslop Crabs from the Jenkins Winery and swamp honey from Louisana, at the Seattle judging center. At GLINTCAP, Stan Sisson took Bronze with a New World Cider using Akane juice from the Storum Ranch, Bronze with a New World Perry using Bartlett juice from the Storum Ranch, and Bronze with a Fruit Cider using EarliGold from the Storum Ranch and Elderberries from the Kenner Ranch. Two competitions remain in this year’s local competition calendar, the San Diego Fair Homebrew Competition, and the 2nd Round of NHC. Winners in those competitions will be recognized in a followup article. With more local homebrewers planning to make and enter ciders using Julian fruit, more Julian orchard owners offering their fruit to cidermakers, and cider-specific varieties starting to be grown in Julian, people in other more-traditional cider areas will start to take notice. Somewhere down the road, it is likely that Julian will become a craft cider destination, much as San Diego has become a craft beer destination. This will be good news for Julian.

Tall Men Group To Encore This Saturday
In alphabetical order, is a brief biography of each band member: Marty Axelrod, the keyboard-playing member of the singersongwriter collective Tall Men Group, is also the producer/co-writer (with Nicole Gordon) of the acclaimed Songs of Shiloh CD. Marty’s songs have played on TV soundtracks including True Blood and Friday Night Lights. Here’s what his songwriting peers are saying: “Marty is such a talent, able to write one thing, but that one thing will mean its face value and a whole lot more…”; “Marty is out of the box, but he can reach in and rip your heart out any time he likes…” Marty performed at the Julian Branch as a solo act in February. Severin Browne performs solo and with his band “Tall Men Group” to packed house concerts, intimate listening rooms, and even an occasional almost-rowdy bar. His brilliant lyrics invite listeners into the songs while his solid melodies carry the story from one note to the next. Severin’s career began with a stint in the 1970s as a Motown staff songwriter and artist, during which time he released two albums. His fifth album of songs (and most acclaimed) was 2012’s “Lucky Man.” For more information, see www.severinbrowne.com. Jeff Kossack has been writing music since he was seven years old.

Besides his own music, Jeff has produced records for many artists including three other Tall Men, and more than 30 other Los Angelesbased artists. Jeff openly declares that his finest musical moments are the ones he has spent with his Tall brethren, and hopes they won't kick him out of the band anytime soon. John Stowers is a seasoned veteran of the Los Angeles music scene. A winner of the prestigious Billboard World Song Contest and has had songs placed in both independent film and television. Hailing from the state of Missouri, John’s musical styles range from southern rock and folk to British pop.

Tree has recorded and/or toured with Spencer Davis, Rita Coolidge, Juice Newton, Al Stewart, Dusty Springfield and Booker T. Jones as well as sharing the stage with Jimmy Buffet, Aaron Neville and Bonnie Bramlett. Ed also played at the Grand Ole Opry with his band The Bum Steers.
