Kinnie Dye On Her Own
Soccer - Girls
The Julian Elementary School garden on Monday morning - snow day Last weekends storm brought plenty of rain and then snow to the area. Rain gauges registered anywhere from 7 1/2 to 13 inches with snow totals ranging from 3 to 5 inches in town up to a foot or more at higher elevations. The onslaught of flatlanders was lessened by the fact they had to be at work on in school for the most part, so we got to enjoy it with less traffic and fewer people. The snow (ice) stuck around through the weekend and Sunday proved to be a little more hectic than some would have liked, but no major traffic issues and you could walk through town mostly unimpeded. Another storm is building off the coast and forecasters are predicting more rain with the possibility of some cold enough temperatures for more snow this weekend. Hopefully it won’t impact the Senior Class auction at the High School Saturday night. Or the rest of the weekend.

Lake Cuyamaca filled on both side of the dyke, and the usual sights on the side of the hill by the lake has people sledding and throwing snow.
A tree lining the patio at the Julian Grille toppled on Friday onto the roof at Julian Fitness Center - causing more noise than damage.
The Julian Library is very excited to host singer-songwriter Kinnie Dye for Music on the Mountain on Tuesday, February 7, at 3:30 p.m. Kinnie has been performing for many years, both solo and with a band. Her musical style is uplifting and positive, and her CD “LIVE” will be available for purchase after the concert. You can listen to music samples on her website, kinniedye.com. Kinnie has written in her blog, “Live the Life YOU love. Not the life you think you should be living. Live the Life YOU Love. We all have to make choices for ourselves. We all deserve to have the happiest, most fulfilling life possible. It’s scary to step up for yourself. It’s not always easy. At the end of it all you’re doing it for YOU, because YOU matter. Your happiness matters. Your life matters. “I’m glad I’m here with you all on this journey. Let’s live the lives we LOVE and encourage those around us to do the same. Let’s create our own happiness and inspire others through our joy. Together, we CAN change the world. Let’s create our own happiness and inspire others through our joy. Born and raised in Oklahoma, you can’t help but hear and feel Kinnie’s roots in her voice and music. She’s a country girl at heart, but couldn’t wait to grow up and get out to see the world. After graduating with her Bachelor’s in Musical Theater from Oklahoma City University, she moved to New York City where she immediately started touring the country with Broadway shows. She absolutely loved traveling the country, but the theater life never sat right with her. She left the life of touring and theater after 5 years, having done 4 national tours and visiting 48 states. Kinnie went in a completely different direction with her life and started teaching for Imagine Swimming, a prominent swim school in NYC. She helped to write their Baby Swim program that utilized song to comfort young infants in the water. When she wasn’t teaching, she was singing backup vocals and gently ‘managing’ a friend’s band. Over the years she gradually taught less and less and was doing more and more for the band. At the end of 2010, she taught her final classes and once again found herself pursuing music full-time. She and her friends purchased a van off of Craigslist and decided to travel and sing their way across the country to San Diego. The majority of 2011 she was living in a van with her two bandmates and busking. They met a lot of people and sang a lot of songs. Through the kindness of strangers and their beautiful harmonies they managed to start new lives on the west coast. After 5 years with the band, Kinnie decided it was time to venture out on her own. Since leaving the band in January 2016, Kinnie has done big things. She released her first full-length album, LIVE. It was recorded in Encinitas at The Studio. Her manager, Steve Redfearn, put a band together, and in just three days, they laid down 12 tracks – all live takes. It was an exciting and new experience for Kinnie to create a completely live album. There was no “studio magic,” no “cut & paste.” The take was great and used, or it wasn’t. Simple, easy, oldschool. She wanted her voice and the songs to speak for themselves. They were also able to record some older cover songs to share the depth and range of her vocal stylings. We hope to see you at Julian Library, 1850 Highway 78, on Tuesday, February 7, at 3:30 p.m. Note that we are still offering Music on the Mountain on our midafternoon winter schedule of 3:30 pm, at least through March. For more information, please contact the library at 760-765-0370. You can also find more information about upcoming programs on the Julian Branch Library Facebook page, as well as at sdcl.org.
