About Julie Roberts
Known for her deep, blues-soaked voice that poignantly captures the pain of the wronged and forgotten, Julie Roberts has quickly become a favorite of fans and music critics alike. Her highly anticipated third album will be released in early 2008.
Entertainment Weekly awarded her 2004 self-titled debut CD an 'A', calling it "one of the most auspicious debuts in years." The New York Times said Roberts' aching and resolute hit, "Break Down Here," was "one of the year's best country ballads." Spotting her talent early, CMT selected Roberts to be the first artist ever to appear in In the Moment, the music network's hour-long documentary on the making of a star.
The album was certified gold and led to two Horizon Award nominations from the Country Music Association, as well as a Top New Artist nomination and a Top New Female Vocalist nomination from the Academy of Country Music Awards, as well as a Breakthrough Artist nomination from the CMT Awards. She delivered three memorable performances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and was chosen over artists in all musical genres to sing the "Good To Go" theme song of the television show Good Morning America.
With her second album, Men and Mascara, Roberts proved she's in it for the long run. Her acclaimed sophomore album has brought accolades and critical acclaim far and wide, including raves from The New York Times, USA Today, People, and Vanity Fair, to name a few. In Touch summed it up this way: "With the Country-blues sound of Bonnie Raitt and the voice and looks of Faith Hill, it won't be long before Julie Roberts is a household name." With her music released in the UK and Ireland on Wrasse Records, it looks like her domestic success will soon be following her overseas.
