Juliet Strong House Concert
Jun 28 @ 2:30 am – 5:00 am

Juliet StrongWith a voice “like butter” and an array of original, bluesy melodies, Juliet Strong touches audiences with her depth of sound, unparalleled musicality, and lilting lyrics. Juliet’s high energy fusion of folk and soul, accompanied by rhythmic piano, ukulele, and an eclectic band (Ray Brassfield on stand-up bass and Dave Chiller on percussion), provides a unique, and infectiously uplifting musical experience.

An Oakland, California native, Juliet has a background in Folk, Classical and Jazz piano and voice. Having grown up in the Bay Area and Central Valley folk scene, Juliet has been influenced by traditional Eastern European, Balkan, Turkish, Flamenco, Americana, Irish, Scottish, Indian and Brazilian music and dance. She has spent years absorbing these styles in a traditional folk setting, supplementing with her love of Bebop, Soul, Funk and R&B, and travel to Turkey, Spain, Portugal, and Argentina. The result is a unique sound often likened to that of Norah Jones, Carol King, and Carly Simon.
