Aug 1: Juliet Lloyd at Acoustic LI
Within a year of playing her first local gig in 2004, Juliet had performed, both solo and with her band, in some of Boston’s best clubs – including the Paradise, Harper’s Ferry, and the Middle East – and gained the attention of local publications such as the Boston Globe. Since then she has expanded throughout the east and west coasts, including the renowned Bitter End, Living Room, and Apollo Theater in NYC, and dates in L.A., Philly, and countless other cities and towns along the way. In 2005, she won awards from both Billboard Magazine and Berklee College of Music for two different songs, was chosen as a semi-finalist in the Acoustic Live competition in Los Angeles, and was invited to take part in the prestigious NY Songwriters’ Circle. Some of 2006′s highlights included opening for Grammy-winner Steve Tyrell, opening for the Billboard chart-topping band The Rippingtons, and a six-night residency at the Rochester International Jazz Festival. Her debut album, All Dressed Up (April 2005), featured 9 original songs and garnered immediate comparisons to Steely Dan, Prince, Alicia Keys, and Carole King. Reviewers praised her “soulful songwriting prowess” and “well-crafted lyrics” (Metronome Magazine), while fans consistently marveled at the fact that not a single track on the album is worth skipping – a rarity in today’s single-driven marketplace.
