Julia Ecklar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Julia Ecklar (born 1964) is an American science fiction author and a singer and writer of filk music who recorded numerous albums in the Off Centaur label in the early 1980s, including Minus Ten and Counting, Horse-Tamer's Daughter, and Genesis. Her Divine Intervention album, released in 1986, was the first filk genre release to combine the lyrical elements with orchestral and rock arrangements.

Ecklar's first solo album in 25 years, Horsetamer, was finished by March 2013, and produced by Michael Moricz.
