Description

Julie July Band performing original music inspired by the folk, rock and blues movement of the 60s & 70s but with a contemporary 21st Century twist.  With over a decade of gigging and recording experience, they return once again to The Kitchen Garden Café, Kings Heath- celebrating a new album, 'Flight of Fancy', together with songs from their critically acclaimed albums ?Lady of the First Light? and ?Wonderland? plus a selection of Sandy Denny favourites.

The line-up features musicians with strong Folk-Rock roots including Dik Cadbury, who played with Decameron and Steve Hackett, on bass, acoustic guitar and vocals and Mick Candler of Decameron and The Roll Movement on drums & percussion.  Julie July brings powerful, emotional and crystal-clear lead vocals with a voice that really echoes the late Sandy Denny.  The Rock element of the band is provided by Steve Rezillo on lead guitar who has supported the likes of Thin Lizzy and Aztec Camera: Steve?s unbelievable talents on the guitar and in studio are essential to creating the band?s authentic Folk-Rock sound.  The newest member of the band, Australian Caley Groves, brings fairy dust and magic to the mix with his acoustic guitar and offers a Latin, gypsy-jazz twist to the band?s live performances.  Last, but not least, one of the band?s songwriters, Carol Lee Sampson, contributes soulful and heartfelt performances on keyboards and vocals.
