Jules Klee is an Americana songwriter with a voice that can quiet a dive bar — and carry
it. 

With a “come to cry” style that draws comparisons to Emmylou Harris and Neko Case, Klee’s band brings elements of bygone folk and country while making way for a soft soulfulness, sang in earnest. With a rotating cast of players, her songs land a little different each time — on purpose.

Her Album Big Charade was released in 2012, with “Talk” featured in the Ubisoft release Watch Dogs. 

And “Hook Sung By Strangers” featured in the indie film Albion Rose.

“First drafts” are just that. 

In 2017, Klee lost her iPhone with nearly a decades worth of songs to her toddler “giving it a bath” (in the toilet)

Rather than getting too attached to the idea of “finished”, forthcoming singles will first be set free with their imperfections and exposed to listeners mid- process. 

A window into incomplete ideas, and single lines that often write the songwriter, “first drafts” are intended to be sonic photographs. You’re hearing a journal in real time. 

Thanks for listening ❤️
