The Julia Set

About Me

The Julia Set use an amalgamation of styles from country to folk to jazz to rock resulting in music that will entice you in, smother you in harmonies and then suddenly leave you drained and wondering what’s just happened.A combination of a surf, jazz drummer in Luke Winton. A philosophical player of all things bass in Jason Bush. An intense guitarist in Chris Heeks. The Julia Set are crowned with the beauty and beguiling vocals and guitar playing of singer/songwriter Emily Sykes.The Julia Sets recent gig’s have been described in the local music press as……“a real beauty of a band, particularly beautiful harmonies and a slow building power”“The Julia Set were fantastic , kinda reminded me of Neil Young/Big Star but with a great lady singer”And…..“Swindons answer to Rilo kiley, lovely stuff”“As usual just stunningly beautiful. Emily’s voice is like the most expensive chocolate sprinkled with fairy dust. Heartfelt songs that leave ones senses swooning”Investigate, read and digest more at….www.myspace.com/thejuliasetThank YouI edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
