A modern troubadour with footprints in both the soul and rock worlds, singer/songwriter Juliet Hawkins brings her message of hope and self-acceptance in her new EP Lead with Love. From the start of her musical journey in Rockport, Mass., on a path that led to working at an orphanage in Peru, stints in Wyoming and California, and finding her true voice in Nashville, Tenn., Hawkins’ commanding vocals evoke a place of self-healing. The fusion of her fiery personality and artistry stirs and inspires the listener. From her rendition of Cage The Elephant’s “Trouble” to the smoky, bedroom pop track “Let You Leave” and the sensually-sleek “Just Fine,” Hawkins’ compass points home.
