Julie Doiron is a Canadian artist born in 1972 in Moncton, New Brunswick. She studied photography at Mount Allison University and began her musical journey at a young age, learning piano and saxophone before picking up the guitar. In the early 1990s, she joined the band Rick White and later started her own record label, Sappy Records. She released her first solo album in 1996 and signed with Sub Pop a year later. Julie continues to create music and perform both as a solo artist and with Shotgun & Jaybird.
Throughout her career, Julie has been involved in various musical projects and collaborations. She founded Sappy Records in 1990 to release music by herself and other artists, including vinyl records by her band at the time. The label was co-run by her husband Jon Claytor until it went on hiatus in 2000 but was revived in 2006.
In addition to her musical pursuits, Julie is also a mother of four children. Her passion for creating heartfelt music shines through in every song she writes and performs.

on julie doiron's first album of new material in over two years, she addresses in her signature intimate songwriting style both the heights and the fallout in a way that forces the listener to reexamine their own loves. important to the recording of this album was a reunion of sorts with her musical family. founding eric's trip bandmate rick white produced and played on the entire album, and a handful of the songs contain the entire original eric's trip band nucleus that took the canadian indie underground by storm 15 years ago. working with an old friend and collaborator like white was key to this album's intensely vulnerable and emotionally raw tone. what's captured is timeless and universal, in the same way as cat power's 'moon pix', leonard cohen's 'songs of love and hate', and joni mitchell's 'blue'.
