Julie has had the blues and jazz in her ears and soul and voice for a long time.
Long before her two backup singing stints with Leonard Cohen in 1988 and 1993.
Before and during the years of alternative post-punk band Divine Horsemen, which she fronted with Chris D from 1983 to 1987, putting out four albums on SST.
Before, during, and since the recordings and live sessions with Cohen, Van Dyke Parks, Exene Cervenka, John Doe, Steve Wynn, Osamu Kitajima, k.d.lang, Robben Ford and others.
Blues and jazz and other roots music are conjured up on Julie's gigs alongside her evocative original songs and blended into them.
In her five years in the Austin, Texas scene, members of many of the town's luminary bands and touring musicians showed up for her weekly jazz/blues gigs and mounted the stage to blow tunes.
Then, Julie moved to LA in the early 1980's.
There, she was one of the early purveyors of jazz and blues to the post-punk boho crowd,playing venues like Cathay de Grande, Lhasa Club, Cafe Largo, and the Music Machine on bills with spoken word and acoustic spinoffs of bands like X, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Blasters, & Oingo Boingo.
She would be seen in glamorous gowns with virtuoso musicians like Henry Butler.
Julie has opened theater concerts for acts as diverse as Nick Cave, Todd Rundgren, Michael McDonald, Luka Bloom, Jeff Buckley, & Doug Sahm.
She plays L.A. every so often, preferring to be at home in the mountains of Southern California and singing in the Ventura and Santa Barbara areas, involved in Headless Household, shows with Jonathan McEuen, and longtime Leonard Cohen cohort Perla Batalla,as well as her own shows at Zoey's and other haunts.
