...and that is when I introduced myself, “Hi, I’m Mary.” She surprisingly replied “You’re Mary Sparks Haddon from South Carolina” and we made small talk. I figured she remembered me from Twitter or Pledge Music.

Juliana fan Mary Haddon has written a heartwarming account of her 'trip of a lifetime' to Boston last week at:

Andrew Youssef:

Her shimmering, early acoustic set featured a gorgeous cover of “Fruit Fly” from Nada Surf, a crystalline take on Foo Fighters’ “Learn To Fly,” as well as the some classics from her catalog like “My Sister,” “Nirvana,” and new songs like “Candy Wrappers.”

There's more on the Q Division studio shows last night, together with a gallery of 25 photos at Stereogum.

Two of David Young's great photos from yesterday's shows.

Juliana, via her official site:

Hello! I am releasing a handful of tickets to my private solo acoustic show coming up (really soon)(Wednesday) on June 27th at Q Division studios in Somerville, MA, for (local-area?) people who aren’t doing the Pledge Music thing but who might still want to see the show. The doors will open at 5:30 p.m. and the ticket price includes beer and snacks and casual/intimate social atmosphere — I will be there all evening, before and after the show. Click here to order tickets. After purchase, names will be added to the guest list at the door in lieu of paper tickets.

Two upcoming shows on the same day - acoustic and full band, both at Q Division Studios in Somerville, MA on Wednesday, June 27 2012.

In her announcement at PledgeMusic, Juliana says while there is the possibility of further shows this year, these could be the only performances in support of the covers album. Her discomfort with playing live has been well documented for many years, and you'll recall there was only one full band show for the previous album.

Billed as 'private shows', tickets (priced at $50 each) go on sale to pledgers at PledgeMusic tomorrow (19 May 2012) at 10am EST.

If you can't make it, you may be able to hear it later:

@VoodooHipster @PledgeMusic will record shows but gotta have time to mix it to my liking for possible release later on
