Singer/songwriter, producer/recording
engineer Julie Last has always been captivated
by music – getting lost in the sound, the
emotion and the beauty that lived in the records
she heard growing up. There was never
anything else she wanted to do. She has been
singing, playing and writing, or recording and
producing music for herself and for other artists
on a journey that has taken her from San
Francisco to New York to Los Angeles and
finally to Woodstock. Her voice has been
described as “warm and rich as honey wine”.
Her music and lyrics are full of life’s poetry
and mystery.
