“Julie proves that she has total command of both power and subtlety. With her well-honed acting
ability and intelligent selection of material she has stepped up to major-room status.”
~John Hoglund, Backstage

“Julie Reyburn’s creamy soprano voice seduces her listeners.”
~Robert Daniels, Variety

“Blessed with a beautiful voice and a captivating command of lyrics, Julie illuminated each stellar
tune with her own special glow.”
~Wayman Wong, New York Daily News

“Whatever she sings, Reyburn has an easygoing, infectious personality. She invites us into her world
with bits of information and a quip here and there as well as with her expressive music and lyrics,
and she's a delight to watch as well as to listen to, thanks to her good looks, confident manner and
sureness about her selections. Reyburn sparkles with professionalism, and yet she never drops the
intimacy and rapport she achieves with her audience. She's a first rate cabaret star.”
~William Wolf Entertainment

"A star emerged this summer at Feinstein’s!"
~Peter Haas, Cabaret Scenes Magazine

"With her new show, "Sing Happy," Julie Reyburn persuasively establishes herself as one of the finest artists
on the current cabaret scene. Not only is this her best show to date, it ranks with some of the most acclaimed
work presented at our most prestigious venues. Yes, it's that good."
~Roy Sander, Bistroawards.com


“Her deeper understanding of what a song can offer is demonstrated by her dynamic ability to
interpret the lyric. Reyburn proves she’s not a comet at all but a blazing new star.”
~Barbara and Scott Siegel, Siegel Entertainment Syndicate


“Few people have become cabaret fixtures faster than this sexy, funny-knowing entertainer. She'll be
raucous one moment, read "The Velveteen Rabbit" the next, but never loses the classy aura.”
~David Finkle, The Village Voice
