Jersey Julie, from New Jersey, is an American artist of great talent that knocks you off your feet in every performance & leaves no one disappointed. Julie is a wonderful & charismatic singer, sax player, dancer who has an enormous positive & uplifting energy as she performs & becomes the music; currently with her extremely talented band formed in 2011. Over the past 15 years, she has played for many festivals & theaters across the USA & Europe (Chicago Blues Festival, Freedom Creek Festival in Alabama, Blues To Bop Festival in Lugano in Switzerland, Cognac Blues Passion & Cahors Blues Festival in France…). She’s also toured for 5 years with the band Mudcat (from Atlanta Georgia), whom she recorded an album with named Kickin’ Chicken & which can be found on the Music Maker Label from North Carolina, USA.

Julie recently moved to France where she married Olivier Mas & started Jersey Julie Band in 2011. Jersey Julie Band is a “feel-good” high energy & original trio with Jersey Julie playing a growlin’ sweet sax & singing lead vocals or harmony with her powerful, clear, & often “raved about” unique voice. As leader of the band she gives all her love, spontaneity, humor, energy & generosity to the public while also helping to keep the rhythm; dancing, shuffling, stomping on her own rickety “dancing board” contraption. Olivier Mas grooves on the guitar with a force of solid rhythm & gorgeous, dirty, rockin’& uplifting solos. He also sings lead vocals & harmony with a truly soulful voice, complimenting Julie’s in great choir. Olivier previously played drums, banjo, & sang lead in other bands before becoming lead guitarist with Jersey Julie.
