Jillian Rae is releasing her second recording this week. It's a four-song EP full of music that's been going through her head for a while.

Why not a full-length album? It's because the songs all had a common theme about traveling, being on the road, on the move … hence the title, Wanderlust. Jillian's EP release happens Saturday, Oct. 21, at Icehouse in Minneapolis.

Jillian is a busy musician; beyond her own work, she supports other acts like The Okee Dokee Brothers, Steve Kaul and the Brass Kings, Corpse Revier, Ilika Ward and more. And she's also a music teacher. We are really happy that Jillian Rae was able to stop at Radio Heartland with her band to play some songs from the new EP.
