Known for their vocal arrangements & harmonies, driven by an intricate tapestry of rhythm, described by many as a wall of sound. Singer Rachel, describes Julia's melodic style as similar to her Father Richie Havens. Her songs are written almost in counter melody. In the grand tradition of Papa Funk, Julia and the core members of Naked are something like the roots of a tree, the revolving members acting as branches together bearing melodic fruit abundant and ripe. Naked looks to share the harvest of a new album after a creative summer in the Catskills. No cover, for more info visit Woodstock MusicWorks
