Arguably the world’s most sought after Stevie Nicks tribute artist, Julie C Myers has travelled the globe riveting audiences with her performances as “Nearly Nicks” for over 10 years. However, the art of doppelganging is only one of this Memphis native’s many talents. Julie is a vocal powerhouse, trained gymnast, former Play Boy “Girl of Rock ‘n Roll”, and professional dancer. After years of performing as the premiere Stevie Nicks tribute artist, Myers is now blending her contagious energy, raspy rock vocals and southern charm together into an album of her own. 

“My mother was a classmate of Elvis Presley, and growing up in Memphis, music was always a big part of my life” says Julie, who grew up surrounded by a melange of classic rock, blues and country music. The southern songstress followed her true passion for performing, training in jazz, interpretive, tap and ballet dance while pursuing a collegiate drama degree. Then, in her 20s Julie began performing on stages and at theme parks in her home state of Tennessee. Julie’s background in the arts coupled with her spitfire vocals began captivating audiences from the moment she took the stage. Not willing to let her dreams pass her by, Myers moved to Vegas where she began singing and dancing in shows like “My Generation”, “Legends in Concert” and “Melinda, First Lady of Magic”, exposing listeners from all over the world to her action-packed, rock ‘n roll inspired live performances.

With a distinct and powerful gravelly voice, luscious blonde hair and a vivacious mystical energy about her, audiences around the globe have been mistaking Julie for the rock star legend Stevie Nicks for years. Julie’s “eureka” moment came the first time she was visiting New York City and was chased down Time Square by rabid Stevie Nicks fans. It was then that the Stevie look-a-like found her “Nicks niche”, so to speak. Julie sought out world renowned musicians for her backing band and created an ethereal “steampunk” inspired set to accompany her as she began performing as “Nearly Nicks”. From casinos to symphony centers, Julie continues to sell out venues and leave audiences young and old in awe. Examiner.com proclaims, “ Nearly Nicks’ is a stunning musical and visual representation of Stevie Nicks, capturing her precise look and sound.”

The tunesmith, now inspired by her successes and the avid fans who return to her shows night after night, just finished recording an album of her own with industry veteran and producer Dan Hodges. “I’m well known for my tribute to Stevie Nicks, but this album is just me” says the raspy rocker. “I’m a bit more country than Stevie is. Being a southern girl, I know I walk the line between country, rock and blues.” Myers’ lyrics tell the stories of solid relationships that endure both the highs and lows of life, as she has. Tempered by tough times that included losing a boyfriend to a bad drug overdose and suffering from PTSD after the tragic death of her brother in a car crash, Julie knows that relationships with loved ones carry us through hardships. “Some of us have moved on from challenging experiences or bad relationships and we are ready for things to come together in our lives,” Julie explains, “new beginnings after difficult times are something to celebrate.”
