Julie Jurgens is a singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist whose fearless, empathetic songs draw upon an upbringing in rural Illinois fraught with experiences of poverty, mental illness and domestic violence, sung from the perspective of a survivor and advocate who is mad as hell and determined to stand her ground. Her clear and honest vocals evoke Patty Griffin or Gillian Welch, and her unflinching lyrics recall Townes Van Zandt or Warren Zevon at their most incisive.
On 1/12/22, Julie was mentioned in the WBEZ Rundown newsletter after they asked for new music suggestions for their 2022 playlists.
