Julie Grower

Julie's early musical journey took her from her small, Long Island hometown of Manhasset, NY to the college town of New Paltz, NY, where she joined several music ventures including country band "Mustang", the accapella group "Woven Tones" and pursued a solo career as a vocalist.  There she participated in a musical fundraising and awareness campaign to stop pristine Lake Minnewaska from being developed by a major hotel chain. This project called "Save The Mountain" succeeded in creating a state park preserve at the site.  She returned to NYC and focused her attention on songwriting, working with "Songs of Love", an organization that delivers personalized songs to ailing children .  Julie is now based in Nashville, TN.  Her song "Hometown Hallelujah",  originally written to celebrate the resilience and cooperative spirit of the people of Nashville, TN in the wake of catastrophic flooding, is the theme song of the new Apple Podcast, the Voice of Free Earth, based on the novel by Michael Klein. Julie has a series of songs about animals and endangered species and heads up the fiscally sponsored nonprofit "Who Speaks For Earth" ,  which inspires children and young people to express their love and concern for wildlife and the environment by creating their own original songs and artwork.
