    Artist History
    Julie performed jazz, blues and country in the midwest and Texas before coming to California in the mid-'80's and hooking up with swamp rock post punk SST band Divine Horsemen (with Chris D).Af ter a tour singing backup and duet with Leonard Cohen in 1988, Julie put together the band and got signed to Polydor, made a record with Todd Rund gren producing, which never came out for typical corporate political reasons. The band played on with various members, Julie did another LC tour in 1993, and the self-produced indie CD was made in 1996-7. New one coming up, and Love is Driving all the way.
