Julie Moffitt's music has been described as Sheryl Crow meets Fiona Apple - sultry chick rock. Musical memoirs expressed through piano, guitar and especially her powerful, memorable voice.  Julie captures the uncertainty of life and the emotions of change - at turns melancholy or optimistic but always reflective and honest.
