Sounds Like
she's at it again.... (I stole that line from Bob Mitchell)
A longtime music veteran, Julie has worked with many legends, almost too numerous to name, from Earl Klugh to Brian Setzer to Stan Getz!
From an early upbringing singing the music of the church, she followed her interests into a variety of American music genres, from folk thru folk rock into blues, bluegrass, country, swing, jazz, bossa nova and bebop.
Julie now weaves together her passion for jazz with a warm, mellow and intimate vocal quality, performing sensitive to swinging interpretations of the great tunes of the American Songbook and bebop standards, garnished and sprinkled with tasty seasonings of contemporary jazz compositions, including her own lyrical collaborations with several noteworthy composers! Keep your ears tuned!
