NEWS - Release of the superb new single and album ‘Wonderland’ by renowned folk/rock band Julie July Band.
Julie July Band is a British Folk-Rock band, performing original music inspired by the folk, rock, and blues movement of the 60s and 70s but with a contemporary 21st Century twist.
Julie July Band line-up features musicians with impeccable folk-rock pedigree:
-Dik Cadbury – from 70’s folk-rock band Decameron, also worked and performed with Steve Hackett and Mike d’Abo from Manfred Man. Dik plays an important part in the band as one of the main songwriters; he plays bass, acoustic, lead guitar and vocals.
-Mick Candler – began playing drums in local beat groups in his home city of York in the early 60s, prior to working with Roll Movement and then joining Decameron, Phil Beer and Steve Knightly.
-Caley Groves – Aussie-born Caley’s guitar talents bring an exotic flavour to the band’s offering with his exciting and uplifting ‘Gypsy Jazz’ licks and acoustic moves: just watch his stunning delivery on the live stage version of ‘Wonderland’.
-Steve Rezillo – as well as song-writing duties, contributes a rock element to the band as electric lead guitarist. Gigging since the early 70’s – he has supported bands ranging from Thin Lizzy to Aztec Camera – Steve’s unbelievable talents on the guitar and in studio are essential to creating the band’s authentic Folk-Rock sound.
-Julie July – to say that Julie can inhabit a song is no understatement. Her voice soars high and proud, earning comparisons with Sandy Denny and Annie Haslam. Whether performing ballads or up-tempo rock, whether folk for the 21st century or a new take on prog riffs, her voice frames the band’s lyrical content and makes each song a uniquely personalised performance.
-Carol Lee Sampson – a truly talented singer-songwriter who writes beautiful and emotive songs as well as providing keyboards and vocals. Delivering heartfelt and soulful performances that stand on their own as well as complimenting Julie’s vocals in a powerful, tight and cohesive unit.
