This Week in Bisbee Person of the Week!
Julia Kean first heard about Bisbee when her band, The Lolly Bombs played Sidepony 10. “I fell in love with it immediately,” she said. She and her bandmate/partner moved to Huachuca City but have integrated themselves into the Bisbee music scene. They are currently working on their album at Roadrunner Studios and touring the Southwest. Her favorite thing about Bisbee? “I like the independent spirit here. I feel like it’s a lot less corporate.” Tell her you saw her in TWIB!
