Biography
Julie Gibb is a Toronto-born author, songwriter, singer and multi-instrumentalist. Her current CD, All My Yesterdays, is quickly gaining momentum across Europe with great support from Euro-Americana radio stations and stellar reviews from print, television and internet media outlets alike. One such review from Radio Compagnie in the Netherlands reads: “Fine lyrics on relationships sung with deep and heartfelt emotion, supported by great musicians. To put in one word: Great!! 'All My Yesterdays' has changed my tomorrows. This album deserves our attention and a lot of airplay”.
Frequently referred to as "Canada's best-kept secret", Gibb began performing internationally as a pre-teen and over the years has done shows with an eclectic group of fellow artists, including the Barenaked Ladies, Bill Monroe, The Sadies, and Johnny Reid, among many others. She has also appeared in a variety of film, TV and print ads, including worldwide campaigns for Levy’s Leather’s (guitar straps), national campaigns for CIBC and Whirlpool Appliances, and as a dancer on the series pilot for the Fox Television series Manchester Prep.
As an instrumentalist, Gibb studied with Canadian notables Alan Ray (best known for his work with jazz legend, Billie Holiday) and Red Shea (Gordon Lightfoot's longtime guitarist). For over a decade she taught guitar, piano and bass herself and has written two guitar instructional books, Fundamentals for the 21st Century Guitarist and her 2010 release, Easy Christmas Songs for Guitar, Volume 1.
Gibb is a staff writer for Nashville music publisher, Spoon’s Tunes LLC, and has been a featured writer/performer in showcases presented by the Canadian Country Music Association, the Nashville Songwriters Association, BMI, SOCAN and CMT Canada.
