About Me

Julie has acquired an unquenchable thirst for the arts, from her family background A dad who entertained his entire life across GREAT BRITAIN and then CANADA, and a mom who worked in fashion and design.Is it any wonder that she has a great love for poetry, fine art and graphics, as well as the musical canvases she currently paints upon.

The release of her first album in the spring of 2000 Middle Ground resulted in a schedule of hectic proportions with a calendar of over 200 dates in the following year, with many highlights and great experiences along the way.

A second CD titled A Day In The Life released in the spring of 2004 is a collection of songs written past and present with great finesse and movement that truly show her love for music itself. A moment in time, full of philosophy and discovery. A refreshing acoustic album that was definitely worth the wait.

Winter of 2005 brought a collection of ghost tracks recorded in May of that year. It's a 5 song demo with Julie's daughter Linz accompanying on piano. It's a very special recording with great ambiance and honesty.

Currently still writing and playing live at every opportunity, Jules also hosts a weekly Open Mic Night in Chatham, Ontario. Tuesdays at 10pm, at the Elephant's Nest pub and grub. The music is always inspiring and the food and service is always excellent.

Born in Balham, N. LONDON ENGLAND, and raised in rural areas of ONTARIO, Jules loves to perform and share her music with all who'll listen. Come out to a show and see the energy and spirit of a truly inspirational singer songwriter in action. You won't be disappointed!

Check out Jules' new myspace dedicated to "Treasures & Ghosts" "here" A demo of five songs recorded at the Cultural Centre, Studio One in May of 2005. Very few have a copy of this demo. Give it a listen......

Currently Jules is recording for a third studio album for a release later this year. Songs include an updated version of "Rearrange". I'll keep you posted on our progress.
