It has been said that had blues man Siegal been around in the sixties he would today be accorded the same reverence as Van Morrison,Joe Cocker and Eric Clapton. Instead a child of the seventies who dropped out of art college to busk the streets of Berlin,Siegal progressed to clubs around Nottingham, then to London and ultimately to major stages around Europe. "The closest thing I've heard to Chester Burnet!" JEFF BECK
Two succesive European tours opening for ex-Rolling Stone Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings brought him to the attention of a wider audience. This was followed by UK tours with Big Bill Morganfield (Muddy Waters' son). During this time Siegal was also capturing the hearts of audiences in Holland,Belgium,Austria and Hungary. In 2005 he topped the Soul/Blues/Jazz charts in Holland and in 2006 he debuted in the USA, appearing at major clubs and the largest music festival on the West Coast.

With an infectious smile, and a genuine love of playing music and inspiring others, her Americana music has managed to gain rave reviews all across the US. A Gribble live show is like watching every emotion, every friend, every heartache and every joy pass through you and come out on a richer side. A quickly rising star not to miss!! Gribble’s music has been featured on Lifetime movie “Dive at Clauson’s Pier,” popular Nickelodeon shows “Zoey 101,” “Drake and Josh” and their TV movie “Drake & Josh Go to Hollywood,” as well on "South of Nowhere" on Noggin and "Smallville" on the WB as well as various independent movies.
It just comes naturally for Julie Gribble, writing, singing, and performing. But what she loves most is to inspire, to reach people with her music. With her Traditional Americana/Country Music, Gribble has entranced audiences with her modern stories of life, love and relationships. When you think about the edge of an artist like Lucinda Williams, the melodies of Allison Krauss, and a likeness to Natalie Merchant, you'll find Julie. Audiences connect immediately to the unique lyrics because they’re not the same old love clichés. As Craig Ferguson said, on his show about her record, So Typical, "It's Fantastic!"
A native of Atlanta, Georgia, Gribble was born with an infectious personality. Her younger years were spent on the stage as an actress which lead to her current film and tv career. She grew up writing poetry, which eventually led to song writing. She had always wanted to find a way to share her stories, and through hours of watching artists play guitar, drawing the chords on bar napkins and practice, her dreams became a reality. After a few open mics in LA she was offered her first gig and after that within a year released her first record, "Back Inside of Me." Through her own means and persistence, Gribble has managed to tour the US and Canada, open for major label artists, become the face of Hotel Indigo's Featured Artist, and be asked to perform on many national television shows around the country as well as numerous radio spots.
With her recent endorsement through Martin Guitars, Julie is armed and ready to tour for her newest release, "Letting Go." This is followed by her recent appearance in October, 2010 on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. After wrapping up her supporting role in the upcoming Sony Pictures Film, Quarantine 2, she also was a songwriting teacher and performer on Seth Green's new webshow, ControlTV. Currently Julie is a finalist in the GA Lottery's All Access Music Search where she has been touring, interviewing with radio stations and performed at the NFL Falcons Halftime Show on Nov.28th at the GA Dome.
