Artist History Bruce began his carreer with the nationally touring act of Aunt Betsy out of Union WA. Julie joined the band in the mid 1990s and in 1996 Bruce and Juli recorded their first side project together, "Strawberry Blues". Aunt Betsy parted ways in 1998 & Julie and Bruce produced an inspired offering, "Sunshine Baby". They have toured nationally since then, and have performed at most major Universities in the U.S. In 2000 they recorded "Visions", which was met with wonderful national reviews, including "Relix" Magazine. In March of 2001 they have released their newest and most vibrant work yet: "The Day We Let Go". They are currently supporting this album with a tour of the every place east of the Mississippi.
