Listen to Libby Monday-Friday!
Length of time at LifeSongs: Since before the Saints had 2 quarterbacks named Billy Joe. (Remember that?)
Favorite LifeSongs concert: I’m bad at picking favorites, and they’ve all been wonderful for different reasons, but I have a special place in my heart for our annual Strike Out Hunger event. The folks at Rock ‘N Bowl always make this event fantastic, and it’s been really great to get to know the hearts of the artists who join us and our amazing listeners in helping our community through the efforts of Second Harvest.
Favorite Artist: Bob Ross
Guilty Pleasure: Dogs in costume. And babies wearing glasses. Oh, and kettle corn.

One word that describes you: Hungry. (For kettle corn.)

Julie | General Manager & Operations Coordinator
Length of time at LifeSongs: I’ve been with LifeSongs in New Orleans since 2000. But before that, in 1998, LifeSongs owned a small AM Southern Gospel station in Atlanta, that I worked at for a short time under the stage name of Rosie. True Story.
Favorite LifeSongs concert: The first LifeSongs concert after Hurricane Katrina. It could have been any artist, but it happened to be Chris Tomlin at the House of Blues. The morning of the concert, Chris Tomlin had heard New Orleans’ own Hack Bartholomew playing outside Cafe du Monde and invited him to open for the concert. That night was magical.
Favorite LifeSongs Artist: JJ Heller. Everything she’s ever done is perfection.
Guilty Pleasure: Reality tv!
Favorite part of being in the LifeSongs family: Working with lifelong friends.
Favorite non-radio related activities: Sleeping, eating, watching tv, playing with my son Finn & my husband Doug.
One word that describes you: Chatty.
