Julie Byrne

Julie Byrne is a singer-songwriter who works in the folk style and writes emotionally intense, aching songs that she delivers in hushed tones, with her low, whispery voice that underscores the sense of sorrow built into them. Her music is quite intimate. It has sparse, atmospheric arrangements that also feel warm and lush. Each of her songs is pretty much stripped down to its essence and becomes a one on one experience with the artist. Her finger picking action on the guitar adds a nice texture and a good sense of motion for the music. She tends to take some time between her recordings, and perhaps related to that, she is consistent in terms of the quality of her output as the overall mood of her music.
