Meet
Julie Crawford
Born in a small town in NY state, Julie began singing at 4, in church with her parents. She has never stopped.
Raised in a home where someone was always playing music, she had a continuous venue and an adoring audience.
She's won many awards (visit the SAMMY page), as a result
of her unsurpassed level of entertainment and vocal skills.
Her repertoire runs the gamut from pop & country, big band, blues, swing & disco. Did I mention oldies & classic rock?
Julie is at home in concerts, parties, private clubs and little rocking rowdy
bars venues too!
She reads the crowd, tailors her selections to the audience
and performs with class, style and incredible vocal ability.
Meet Frank
Born in another small town in NY state, Frank is very
talented and well respected in the music community.
He began music lessons at a very young age, and began to play tuba at the age of 10, through high
school and on to college as his major instrument.
Obtaining a BS in Music Ed and Performance along the way, he also acquired skills in piano, bass guitar, trombone, and midi sequencing.
Frank programs and arranges all the music for Julie's
performances and recordings, does sound reinforcement and lighting
duties as well.
He and Julie have performed together since 1976, and will tell you that there is no one else either of them would rather be onstage with.

“The Band”
Julie's superb vocals and Frank's keyboard artistry are routinely complemented by the addition of other extremely talented instrumentalists and singers. Thus, many configurations of “The Band” are possible depending upon venues and client preferences. But whether they're a duo or a multi-piece combo, results are
consistent -- excellent! Fun, Danceable, Totally Listenable, and downright Fabulous!

The Julie Crawford Duo
It's exactly what it says! Julie and Frank doing what they do best with humor, and an easy comfort from working together for 30+ years...thus GREAT MUSIC.
The duo is great in small, intimate groups, where the audience is there to enjoy the rich vocals of Julie Crawford along with the
tasteful music arranged and produced by Frank Crawford. Whether her fans are there to just listen or to dance, they are never disappointed.
In large concert venues such as the NY State Fair, Julie never disappoints the thousands who stop, stare and smile as they pass thru the Dairy Products building, and they take home a little of that pleasure in the way of one of Julie's CDs.
Definitely an exception to the "small, intimate" venue!
If you're having a birthday or anniversary party for the 50+
crowd, you can't get any better than The Julie Crawford Duo.

The Julie Crawford Trio
This is the blending of totally different musical backgrounds. Julie, Frank, and Dan "Cato" Eaton met in 1983 and
have recorded and performed together for over 20 years.
The trio features Frank on midi sequencing and sound production, Julie's vocals, and Cato on guitar, sax, and vocals.
It's an entertaining mix of "beauty and the beast," blending Julie's and Cato's vocals, coupled with the musical and humorous rapport amongst the three.
Dan "Cato" Eaton plays piano, sax and guitar so well, it's hard to tell what his major instrument is, but he chose saxophone while working on his music ed degree. Always a rock and roller, Cato's hero is Joe Cocker (the other JC ), and rock and roll is where his heart lies
-- except when it comes to Julie. Dan likes to say that she is his 1st, 2nd and 3rd favorite female vocalist.
The Julie Crawford Trio has a spark that comes from three great friends doing what they love best with the people they enjoy making music with the most.
This trio can be seen once a month at "Brothers Place" in Verona Beach and at select summer concerts.
