"Having known and admired Julie Rafferty for some years now, I was honored to be asked by her to write the arrangements and perform for this recording. For me, Julie has always had three distinct musical qualities that set her apart: first is her selection of material; her integrity to the melody of a tune; and her unique vocal sound and phrasing. Add to that she is a class-act lady and good friend." -Barney McClure



Fairbanks, Alaska has been Julie Rafferty’s home for the last 20 years, and despite the brutal winters she’s found no finer place. She grew up in Seattle and after a few years of college ventured north to Alaska, working summers in Glacier Bay National Monument and Denali National Park. Eventually, she settled into Fairbanks which is the next "big town" north of Denali.

She’s performed folk, rock, jazz, cabaret and musical theatre in various venues and for the past 10 years she’s concentrated on a jazz/standard repertoire. She’s been a featured vocalist with trios, combos and the Fairbanks Symphony Orchestra,entertaining throughout Washington, Alaska and Canada. Reviewers most often note Julie’s eclectic repertoire, her infectious arrangements and her refreshing vocal delivery.

Her debut CD "No Finer Place" is recorded in an easy jazz/pop style and features:

Barney McClure: piano and B-3 Hammond
John Keech: bass
Dom Moio: drums
Ron Veliz: guitar, percussion
Jason Slats: saxophone, clarinet
Scott Deal: percussion

Many know of Alaska’s scenic beauty but you will be amazed by the high quality of music the state has to offer. Drop Julie a line, offer a review, and enjoy the great music.
