Julia Klee August 20, 2011

Ever since Julia Klee was a kid, she has stopped audiences cold with her voice. Formerly a classically trained singer and pianist, she made waves most recently in the Chicago music scene as the female counterpart of critically acclaimed songwriter Joe Pug's music entourage. Julia Klee was invited to sing at Lollapalooza last summer with Pug along with several sold out shows at Schubas and Hideout. Time Out Chicago took note of her performances, raving "She's got pipes that rival Neko Case and Kelly Hogan." Currently, Julia Klee has stepped to the front of the stage for her solo career. With a string of brilliantly crafted piano driven tunes backed by a cast of Alt. Country musicians (including Jay and Tim Bennett formerly of The Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash), Julia Klee plans to come out with a new album this fall, a collections of songs she wrote on her mother's classical guitar and a hand-me-down piano.
