Album Notes

Yes there are Angels! If you are interested in meeting a real Angel, this is your day!

Julie was born in Sioux Falls, South Dakota where she started her studies on harp and piano with her mother's encouragement. At that time, she also enjoyed playing the flute, Flugel horn and French horn too! But harp and piano soon won her heart and she continued her musical education at the esteemed Gustavus Adolphus College in St Peter, Minnesota.

At Gustavus, Julie was active playing harp and piano, and also toured several countries with the renowned Gustavus Choir under the direction of Dr. Karl Erickson! She had the privilege of performing a harp solo at the 1989 Christmas in Christ Chapel - to a sold out audience!

After graduating from Gustavus Adolphus College in 1989, she moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota to continue her studies with the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra Harpist at the time, Kathy Kienzle.

Little did Julie know that her fate was to meet the man of her dreams...now known legally as The Scary Guy! The two met in the computer industry and fell madly in love! The Scary Guy knew the moment he heard her play, that they were destined to write music together!

Yes, you read correctly...The Scary Guy (his legal name) and Julie Kaufmann have set out on a mission to Eliminate Hate, Violence and Prejudice Worldwide through their every word and action!

You can learn more about their mission at: http://www.thescaryguy.com

So, their journey began together in Minneapolis, took them on a path through the desert landscapes of the southwest (Tucson, to be specific), and now back to the heartland of Missouri.

During this time, they have traveled extensively throughout Europe and supported each other in their mission of teaching others HOW to teach love. Very different from a one hour Sunday sermon! And they reach out to people of all religions, races and creeds. Everyone deserves LOVE!
Stay tuned for more music springing out of their new Kansas City digs...as they have lots of inspirational stories that will soon be released in the gift of their music...and if we're REALLY lucky, we'll get them to sing on the next CD, as the best kept secret is that The Scary Guy started out as a Vocal Performance Major at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota!

For questions on their music, please email Julie directly at: jewels@thescaryguy.com

Thank you and ENJOY!
