Julie Kinscheck graduated from Boston's prestigious Berklee College of music, winning jazz masters scholarships and awards. She studied great vocalists like Ella Fitzgerald and Bobby McFerrin; you will hear their influence in her vocal improvisation. -And ask about the vocal trumpet!

Ralph Kinscheck is a talented pianist and synth master. When hired as a duo you might forget there are only two people on stage for Ralph's keyboard sequencing abilities.

Finally, when hiring the larger band you will be blessed by tasteful drums, beautiful guitar "ear candy", sultry bass and special guests on Saxophone or electric violin to add splash and unique flair!

You won't be disappointed!

Personal stuff:
Kinscheck grew up in Ithaca, NY across from a wheat field. She started singing 70's folk rock hits as a little girl on her guitar, also writing her own songs and dreaming of being discovered! As a preteen she sang her origal music as a feature performer for the I Love NY campaign at the State Parks. Eventually, her music took her on a street tour of Europe, playing all the town sqaures with and open case...

Oberlin Conservatory, Berklee College of Music and a whole lot of bands later, Kinscheck is still doing music for a living; Teaching voice and guitar lessons from her home studio on the side of gigging and raising two fantastic kids! She sings on the praise team at church; has put out 4 albums and is happily married to her keyboard playing audio engineer hubby, Ralph!

Moon Glow started with Julie on vocals and guitar and her husband Ralph on Keys began playing for the local benefit for the Billerica Cat Care Coalition every year (now 11 years!) and has since expanded to play a wide variety of events and functions, cocktail receptions and the like. We can bring a larger band for larger events- but our focus is to add class and enjoyment to any event. Julie's vocal style is both beautiful and intriguing, drawing form such greats as Ella Fitzgerald and Natalie Cole, Eva Cassidy and Manhattan Transfer. She loves to improvise (known as SCAT) and uses it like a horn player! (Ask for her signature vocal trumpet!)

Julie Jazz is the original band. Yes, they play some standards their own way- but Julie writes this interesting cross between jazz, pop and inspirational tunes that keep you on your toes; great stories, great musicians, great lyrics- a great show! Great fr anything from festivals to jazz clubs to Christian events and benefits.

We provide sound system- you provide power and light!
