Julie Nolen

At eight years old, Julie Nolen knew she wanted to live in Austin, Texas and she has emmersed herself in this musical city every since.

Nolen, who is known for her energetic and exciting performances, has been playing in Austin for over ten years, focusing not only with solo shows but also with her band. She regularly plays rooms such as the Saxon Pub, Lambert's and One2One Bar. Nolen has captured her energetic sound onto disc, releasing her first solo demo album, "Raise Hell" in February 2015.

"The power of their music pushed me to step out of my comfort zone. What originally drew me to go see them was Julie's wonderful voice. She sings with a ton of heart and soul, which could win anybody over."
- Mara Havis, Listen2MySmile

Having her soul rooted in West Texas, Nolen knows how to write a good story. Writing songs of loves won and lost, betrayals and triumphs, (sometimes with a sense of humor) comes second nature to her, much like the memorable melodies that help support those stories.

"Sneaky pick to steal your hearts. Nolen finger-picks indie-folk that you can dance, cuddle, or mellow out to." - Liz Williams, The Austin Chronicle

Nolen formerly lead the band Telling Stories through several shows throughout Texas and two full-length albums, "Greyhound" and "Dirty Little Secrets".
