Singer-songwriter, performing musician, and recording artist Julia Barry found her love of creativity through music at a very early age, improvising songs on piano and constantly singing around the house. She began formal study of piano (inspired by her older sister's lessons) and joined a children's choir during grade school, beginning to write more seriously as a teen.
Earning acclaim for unpredictable melodies, substantive lyrics, and powerhouse piano-playing, her live sets have been described as "mesmerizing" and "provocative." Her agile, intimate vocals are simultaneously melancholy and sweet, a fusion of gritty (think Tori Amos), wistful (Beth Gibbons of Portishead), sultry (Diana Krall), and luminous (Joni Mitchell).
Barry's debut album, Arrivals (copyright "Julia Rose"), was released independently in June 2002; fans review this album on CDBaby.com as "breathtaking," "a blessing to find in today's music world," and "a real jewel." Her second album is forthcoming. Recording and current performance information can be found on juliabarry.com.
