Julie Lavender

Originally from Chicago, Illinois, as a child, Julie studied piano and classical guitar. Later, she played steel guitar but developed her musical skills primarily as a singer. Her style artfully blends pop with touches of classical music structures and jazzy suggestions. As a songwriter, she draws upon her life experiences, many of which reflect her home environment as a child and her adult life as wife and mother. Her repertoire is an intriguing blend of her own compositions, pop, jazz and classical music. After spending some years resident in Southern California, where she played concerts in Los Angeles and the San Diego area, in the early 2000s, Lavender relocated to the New England states.
