Julie says, “I came to be in a band quite by chance. Danny and I used to work together at CN2 back in the mid 90’s. We both worked in the sales division. Our sales group often went out to lunch together. One day while on our way to eat, I was riding in the back seat, Danny was in the front, and I was singing to the music on the radio. He mentioned that I had a great voice (much to my surprise). At that point in my life, I didn’t realize I had any talent. He mentioned that I should come out and do some backup vocals for the band he was in. That band was King Mixer. I took him up on the offer and the rest is history. I met Bruce via King Mixer. They had just put the final touches on their 1997 album, and they added me to the line up before they started their rounds of performances for the CD release. I had just missed getting to be on the album. A while later a few members of King Mixer went on to join Benny Edwards in his band, Uncle George. Bruce and I were in that band together, also. Years later, I was asked to join another band by the name of South of Sane. Oddly enough, they had just finished their new CD (I just missed being on another album!), and they were desperate for a female lead vocalist to replace their former lead singer. They had a tour set up for their CD release and we toured along with several other bands with female leads. I got a chance to go with them and be a rock star while we traveled to New York and Baltimore, eventually ending our trip at The Money in Rock Hill. Fast forward to the 2020’s: I got a call from Bruce, and he had written a song for a female lead that he wanted me to record for him. I went to his studio and we had a blast reconnecting. I FINALLY was getting a chance to be on an album!! Bucket list item checked!!!! I am thankful and grateful for being included.” Bruce’s note: “Julie did a superb job on “You’re In Love” – I’m so glad she was willing to be part of this project. What a beautiful and talented lady she is!”
