Boasting a signature blend of soulful, roots-infused folk/pop, and routinely performing 150-plus shows per year, Juliet Lloyd has attracted comparisons with, among others, Patty Griffin, Grace Potter and Carole King. She’s visiting the Potteries this month as part of a UK tour that comes on the back of latest album Carnival, released in autumn last year.
“Although I still primarily consider myself a piano player, I write and play more guitar now,” says Juliet. “That definitely influences the kinds of songs I write, because I’m so limited by the chords I can play. It’s forced me to be simple, and to put more of an emphasis on lyrics than I may have in past projects.”
