Julie Doiron

About

The artist

Julie Doiron is an Acadian singer-songwriter, guitarist, and bassist based in Memramcook, New Brunswick. She began performing in 1990 as the bassist in the Moncton indie rock group Eric's Trip. When the group first ended in 1996, she released the solo album Broken Girl, initially using that title as an artist name before continuing under her own name. Her work since then has moved between close-miked solo songwriting, full-band indie rock, slowcore, folk textures, and records in English, French, and Spanish. Julie Doiron and the Wooden Stars won the 2000 JUNO Award for Alternative Album of the Year. Woke Myself Up reached the 2007 Polaris Music Prize Short List, and I Thought of You reached the 2022 Polaris Long List. I Thought of You was her first solo album in nine years. Doiron performed vocals and guitar, with Dany Placard, Daniel Romano, Ian Romano, and Michael Feuerstack among the credited musicians. In 2022, she and Placard released Julie & Dany, an eleven-song collaboration recorded in New Brunswick. The two shared guitar, voice, percussion, bass, drums, recorders, and recording duties. Doiron's early catalog found a new audience in 2025 when August 10 from Broken Girl entered Billboard rock and alternative rankings. Numero Group also issued an expanded Broken Girl edition, while her exact Spotify identity added three 2025 releases. That Spotify profile now contains 27 primary album and single containers from April 1996 through October 2025, normalized as eleven albums, six EPs, and ten singles. Current professional evidence keeps the project active and in New Brunswick. Global News described Doiron as an active musician living in rural New Brunswick in February 2025. The Festival acadien de Caraquet's 2026 program presents Julie Doiron and Julie Aubé together as the two Julies of Memramcook, with Doiron joined by Dany Placard.
