Julia Weldon is a wide-eyed lover of life and prolific queer folk-pop musician, guitarist, and songwriter. After years voicing the words of others as a child actor, Julia had to release her own. In her deeply personal percussive guitar-driven songs she plays with urban & rural memes. Intensely felt lines – from sardonic to heartfelt -weave stories of loss, regret, debauchery, incest, love & desire. It’s the harsh city edges, the liminal open fields, the rough and soft sounds that make her music a pleasant paradox that draws immediate attention. Julia headlines at reputable NYC venues like City Winery and the Knitting Factory, has opened for national acts such as MELISSA FERRICK, BITCH & KAKI KING, and just did her first major tour down to SXSW Festival in Austin, TX. Other festivals include Chicago’s 2008 Decibelle Festival and the 2010 Women’s Experimental Music Festival in Brooklyn. Her first, self-titled album was a DIY project with intimate grit, and she is currently finishing a fully produced and realized 12-track album with renown producer Saul MacWilliams.
