Julie Meyers

I am a songwriting, guitar/piano/bass-playing, imaginary-drummer-playing, music-teaching, sings-all-the-time-to-perhaps-the-point-of-annoyance musical goofball. I have one album-child that's 2 years old (almost three!), and her name is Good Girl Blues. I have another album child on the way and his name (yes, this one is a boy) is The Best Days. It's a doozy of a record in my opinion, and I can't wait to show him off! I've been pursuing music for 2/3rds of my life (the first 1/3rd of my life was spent reading Dr. Seuss; I consider him my earliest writing influence), and I can't think of anything else I'd rather be doing, except maybe writing this bio.



Here are some nice things people have said to me that describe my music:



"Catchy"

"Distinct"

"Strong"

"Poetic"

"Insightful"

"Competent"



Before I moved to Los Angeles I lived in Sacramento for a time, and boy, was I ever active in the local music scene up there. I've played all over Northern California as a solo act and/or a sidewoman in a band, including (but probably not limited to:)



Squish the Bad Man (guitar and vocals)

The Famous Celebrities (keyboard and vocals)

Ahoy! (bass and vocals)

Ditching Mindy (bass and vocals)

The Foreign Cinema (bass and vocals)

Anton Barbeau (keyboards)

David Houston (backing vocals)



I've also recorded with all of these very fine people at one point or another. I've also recorded stuff for:



Mike Rofé

Dustin Aaron

All on Seven

Deluxe

Local Honey

Adam Varona



I relocated to Los Angeles in November 2009 to push the musical envelope a little further. You can catch me playing solo acoustic shows in and around town, but you can also catch me filling in bass duties for Mike Rofé (www.myspace.com/mikerofe)

As for the outlook on 2010 - New Year, New Location, New Record!!
