      They'll just tell her to just play root notes and keep things simpler. As nice as this is, they'll want the vocals front and center.

      Haha, Julia is such a great bassist and chooses such a variety of songs, many I'd never listen to otherwise. And her bassing makes me enjoy them 9 times out of 10! Even when they are outside my normal wheelhouse

    The way she enriches these songs and adds soul to them is beyond comparison, at least with an instrument. Usually it’s only an incredible voice that can accomplish this. If only more people actually loved music! And not just catchy beats and lyrics they like singing along to.
