Overview

I perform acoustic covers from the ‘60s to today, blending pop, country, soul, and rock with a smooth, heartfelt vocal style. My versatile setlist features artists like Fleetwood Mac, Dolly Parton, Whitney Houston, Chris Stapleton, The Eagles, Chappell Roan, and Billie Eilish — along with timeless favorites and current chart-toppers that everyone loves to sing along to.

Perfect for restaurants, weddings, private parties, and live music venues, I bring each song to life with powerful vocals, acoustic charm, and a genuine love for connecting with every crowd.

Amazing performance

Julia was amazing! Extremely professional, responsive, and charismatic. Had an amazing performance. She blew the guests away with her 90s set. Was extremely responsive and took the time to match our event attire. Beautiful voice, highly recommend!

Amazing Artist

Julia was amazing! Great communication, showed up early, interacted with the crowd and has a great voice. We even had some questionable weather and she stuck it out and waited for it to pass. Thanks Julia!

A singing guitarrist I would definitely recommend!

I am way overdue for this review, and I've been eager to write it and share it with the world. I met some friends at the Devil's Whiskey Bar, and OMG, I heard Julia's voice. I knew right away I'd made a good choice by getting out of the house. The minute I sat down, Julia was gratefully entertaining the small crowd, and I am convinced that the crowd quickly grew bigger with her sharp and nice tone.
Julia was charming, crowd-pleasing, talented... and beautiful. I had an amazing time, and hopefully I get to be honored by listening to her beautiful singing voice again soon!

Top Notch Performer

I chose Julia because I watched some of her music videos online and really enjoyed her song selection and her musical/vocal talent. I booked her on a whim and I am so happy that I did.

Julia was very easy to work with and professional. We scheduled a call before the event to discuss all of the pertinent details. She stayed in contact to make sure we had everything we needed before the event. She came early the day of to set up by our request and she even came dressed up as it was a costume party.

Every song she played flawlessly. She played every song we asked for, and was completely self sufficient. Any time I asked her if she needed anything her main concern was that we were taken care of. I couldn’t have asked for a better performer. All of my guests were amazed by her talent and I will definitely hire her again if we need a performer again in the future.

About

Hi there!
Thanks for stopping by! I’m J Nicole — a San Antonio–based acoustic singer and guitarist with a deep love for music that spans decades. I’ve been singing for as long as I can remember and started playing guitar at 12. My style blends pop, country, soul, and rock, covering everything from the ‘60s to today with a smooth, heartfelt sound.

I’ve performed with several well-known local bands and contributed background vocals for studio projects, but these days I focus on creating acoustic performances that bring people together. Whether it’s a restaurant, backyard barbecue, baby shower, wedding reception, or private event — I love connecting with a crowd and making the moment memorable through music.

Additional booking notes

I will provide all of my sound equipment. I do not have any staging equipment or lighting.
