An often thankless task is opening for a better-known artist. The Narrows audiences, however, are usually supportive of the openers and--in some cases--have given them standing ovations.
Of course, the Narrows only books the best in opening acts--many of them featured performers in other venues. That's the case this Saturday, March 12, when singer-songwriter Julie Lee opens for the Avett Brothers at the Narrows.
Look at these comments about Julie Lee:
When I first heard Julie Lee I was taken by her ability to be artful, truthful, commercial, and refreshing at the same time. Not at all easy in this day of Artifice and facade. — Rodney Crowell
Julie's beautiful voice and beautiful heart make for an extraordinary combination of lyrics and melody that has the ability to touch each and every one of us. She's a fantastic talent. — Alison Krauss
A collection of songs and a unique voice that both sound... timeless — Vince Gill (of the new record "Stillhouse Road")
Not too shabby!
