Bio
WINNER OF THE 2012 DETROIT MUSIC AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING COUNTRY REDORDING for her album "VIVID" NOMINATED FOR SIX 2012 DETROIT MUSIC AWARDS! NOMINATED FOR TWO 2011 DETROIT MUSIC AWARDS: Outstanding Country Songwriter Outstanding Country Vocalist NOMINATED FOR THREE 2010 DETROIT MUSIC AWARDS : Outstanding Video / Independent Budget - "No Place For A Lullabye" Outstanding Country Recording - "It Ain't Over" Outstanding Country Vocalist "Julianne is what music is all about ... unique, talented, capable of singing with emotion, and delivers a powerful, original message." - Tim Roberts, Program Director, WYCD-FM Detroit With a sultry voice that captivates from the first note, Julianne is a dynamic singer-songwriter paving her own musical road with her first solo CD, "It Ain't Over" (2010 Detroit Music Award nominee for Outstanding Country Recording). Julianne's vocals and songwriting equally shine on the CD, which has lead to her first music video for the song "No Place For A Lullabye", directed by Stephen Clark from WXYZ-TV in Detroit. The video and song were used by HomeAid of America (22 chapters nationwide) in PSAs for their 2010 & 2011 campaigns to build temporary housing for the homeless. 2011 will bring a much anticipated second CD from Julianne. 2010 has been a banner year so far for Julianne, garnering a top three country finalist spot in the Chris Austin Songwriting Contest with a performance at MerleFest, being named a CBS Detroit "Best Of" country artist, and snagging the coveted slot representing the Country genre in performance at the 2010 Detroit Music Awards. Nominated four times as Outstanding Country Vocalist for the DMAs, Julianne's songwriting has been recognized with a 2009 DMA nomination for Outstanding Country Songwriter and by taking honors in the 2008 and 2009 Great Lakes Songwriting Contest (2009 1st Place - "No Place For A Lullabye"). As well, Cowboy Troy will be including a song co-written with Julianne in his 2011 tour with Big and Rich. Following up on five years as lead singer of the Detroit country group REDHILL, a captivating solo performer and audience favorite, Julianne has performed with the sax accompaniment of Grammy winner Alto Reed (of the Bob Seger band) and was featured in several Alto Reed's All-Star Concerts with Jeff Daniels, Mark Farner and Mitch Ryder. She has appeared live on television & radio shows, and opened for John Michael Montgomery at Detroit's DTE Music Theatre, Victoria Banks at the famous Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, as well as Whitney Duncan, Phil Vassar, the McClymonts, Steve Azar, Zac Brown Band, Darryl Worley, Telluride, David Nail, and Julianne Hough. "A red hot singer and stage presence to burn down the house" - Brian Harper, WSAQ-FM, WYCD-FM, Detroit Growing up on a large cattle farm and riding her horses in the rural thumb area of Michigan, Julianne was raised on country music. She would often ride in the tractors along side her father when he worked the huge fields...and the radio was always on. "There was always music in our lives. Dad would come home after a long day and one of the first things he did was spend 10 minutes taking the day's frustrations out at the piano. I loved those moments listening to him play." Around age three, Julianne decided to teach herself how to play the piano, and anyone that knew her growing up would often hear her singing wherever she went. She's a true American farmer's daughter, granddaughter, and great granddaughter who loves to perform, sing, and write songs. With names like Tubbs, Babcock, and Tremble in the family, it's no wonder country music is in her blood! Julianne is proud to be endorsed by Luna Guitars for over three years now, and she was a featured artist on a 2008 retail store poster distributed by the company to dealers world-wide. Julianne has also performed the national anthem for numerous sporting teams, including the Detroit Red Wings and Detroit Tigers, the Toledo Mud Hens, and belted out nine seasons (2002-2010) as the anthem "Voice of the Icehawks" for the Port Huron IHL hockey team. "Julianne's songs are so honest and heartfelt, they hit the listener like a sucker-punch directly to the soul. She pleads her case in a strong and vibrant voice, wringing every nuance from her lyrics. A stand-up gal and an emotionally committed writer/performer indeed!" - Nolan Mendenhall, Producer
