He grew up in Port Orchard, Washington.
Julie Mains comes from a Philadelphia "theater family" of actors and musicians and assorted ruffians. Now a confirmed Seattlite, Julie blows away the competition with her patented vocal firepower and her adventurous interpretations of
Rock 'n Roll, Rhythm & Blues, and Standards.
When not performing, Julie's creative juices have lately flowed in the direction of songwriting and recording her own brand of quirky indie rock and retro pop music.
The newest CD "Inevitable", now in national release, is generating quite a buzz while getting airplay in over 70 media-markets around the country.
"Inevitable" is for sale at most online retailers.
