Platinum blonde songstress Julia Capogrossi is packing her bags and heading south, 5,000 miles south. She holds the coveted spot of the sole American entertainer at the San Pedro Country Music Festival held in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
First of all, I had to get a passport,” laughed Capogrossi. “I was literally at the Post Office the next day filling out the form. I’ve never been out of the country and I am beyond honored for this to be the reason. I can’t wait!”
She will be accompanied by three talented musicians including Cassadee Pope’s lead guitarist, Derek Bahr, Clare Dunn’s bassist, Reed Berin and Chuck Wicks’ drummer, Rob Mitchell. Together they will play a full 60-minute set on the main stage of the festival on Saturday, September 23rd.
