A television show gave Julia Cooper a nationwide “Voice.”
She now is ready to use that springboard to showcase her voice as a songwriter as well as a singer.
Cooper, who grew up in Poland, will play two shows next week at Birdfish Brewing Co. in Columbiana that will focus on her original songs, and she plans to return to Los Angeles in early February to start work on new material that she hopes will be released by spring.
But first comes a video and full audio version of Maggie Rogers’ “Alaska,” the performance that made three of four judges on the recently completed season of NBC’s “The Voice” spin their chairs in hopes of landing her for their team.
