Folk-rocker Julie Loyd in Concert March 26, 2008

Julie has released four albums and a live DVD--playing all around the country, sharing stages with such performers as Shawn Mullins, Michelle Malone, Kaki King, G-love & Special Sauce, Hamell on Trial, and Alana Davis, to name a few. She has a knack for making folk dynamic: "I'm tired of folk being seen as boring. Just because I'm playing an acoustic guitar doesn't mean I'm going to be singing about the mountains and if I am, I'm singing loud."

Born and raised alongside the Blue Ridge Mountains in Charlottesville, Virginia, Julie has been struggling with her southern roots and her Yankee mentality since she was a kid. Having lived and toured out of New York City, Northampton, MA, Asheville, NC, and Chicago, IL, she's recently taken up residence in the folk capital of the country--Boston, MA.
