Julia Rose

Baltimore born Julia Rose writes and sings romantic ballads and delivers them with her powerful, full bodied voice. Her music is described as "alternative acoustic folk music" inspired by her experiences, including what it's like to be homeless in the streets of Fells Point. Julia has developed a style that is tough yet gentle, brash yet intimate. The gifted artist now plays dozens of east coast venues in the New York to Washington corridor including Blues Alley, Ram's Head Tavern, The Birchmere and the Bitter End in New York. Her engaging and lyrical CD Suspended in Air will be available for sale during Julia's performance.

Julia unabashedly engages the audience at Rappahannock Coffee on a personal level inviting jokes, stories, barbs and laughter. She makes the whole place part of the show, making friends of everyone. Her performance is somewhat enigmatic, starting with a proclamation of shyness and the warm lyrics of a troubled life peppered with standup comedy and open verbal challenges to anyone within earshot. Avoiding eye contact with her won't save you. It's an enormous amount of fun and you won't want to miss it. Oh, and don't bother asking for anything but her original music. She doesn't do covers!
