About Julia

Singer-songwriter Julia Waldron was brought up on a rich diet of folk and country music at the heart of the Rochdale folk scene. She was singing in her pushchair and quite simply born to be on the stage.

Warm, bright, sassy - and as down to earth as they come, Julia combines passionate songwriting, chocolatey warm vocals, lively acoustic guitar and a bold, comedic style in her performance.

“The Mae West of Folk & Americana” ‘Lynne’s Live Lounge’

Julia’s song writing is deeply rooted in human experience, exploring themes of love, loss, laughter, and the complexities of navigating life’s ups and downs. Her lyrics carry messages of hope, resilience, and the power of unity, reflecting her belief in the power of music as a force for good.

“Stand out songs' ‘Americana UK’

Julia’s influences span Folk and Americana genres, in her own words ‘it’s all about the song’. Firm favourite songwriters include Gretchen Peters, Boo Hewerdine, Willie Nelson, Show of Hands and lifelong girl crush, Dolly Parton.

“An exceptional performer, singer and songwriter” ‘Steel & Wire Radio’

Julia is a well-known and well-loved performer on the thriving Sheffield live music scene and, now her children are older, she seeks to take her music on the road to a wider audience.
