Tonight, Julie Murphy Wells steps away as lead singer of Eddie From Ohio and brings her cabaret flair to The Barns.
With
a voice The Washington Post says can
“growl or purr,” this soulful singer showcases her
cabaret and jazz talents.
While she was studying at Virginia Tech, Murphy, a Virginia native, met her Eddie From Ohio bandmates, formed the band in 1991, and began playing covers in local bars and restaurants. The foursome has been touring together ever since.
In 1999 Wells released Sophisticated Lady, which showcases her wide vocal range with covers of George and Ira Gershwin, Billie Holiday, and Nat King Cole. According to The Washington Post, “the album's title refers to Murphy’s elegant pop demeanor, though, truth be told, her voice can also wax brassy, dreamy, sultry, and hip.”
Her band Eddie From Ohio has released nine CDs and has been recognized as Best Contemporary Folk Group by the Washington Area Music Association six times since 1997.
“Drawing from jazz, pop, and show tunes, Murphy moves smoothly and expressively though a broad range of material, demonstrating her engaging versatility.”—The Washington Post
