9pm - Juliet Strong's depth of sound, unparalleled musicality, and high energy fusion of folk and soul, accompanied by rhythmic piano, ukelele, and an eclectic band, provides a unique, and infectiously uplifting musical experience.
An Oakland, California native, Juliet has a background in Folk, Classical and Jazz piano and voice. Having grown up in the California Bay Area folk scene, Juliet has been influenced by traditional Balkan, Turkish, Flamenco, Old Timey Folk, Irish, Indian and Brazilian, music and dance. She has spent a lifetime absorbing these styles in a traditional folk setting, supplementing it with her love of Bebop, Soul, Funk and R&B. The result is a unique sound often likened to that of Norah Jones, Carol King, Regina Spektor and Carly Simon.
