Julie Doiron (2011) - Teaser
from Kreative Kontrol
Between August 1 and 3, 2025 in Sackville, New Brunswick, Sappyfest celebrates its twentieth anniversary as one of the world’s best programmed and most fun music and arts festivals. Back in the summer of 2011 just ahead of the sixth annual Sappyfest, I met Julie Doiron and three of her children at Grapefruit Moon for an interview over breakfast. Aside from her inspirational work in the band Eric’s Trip and her award-winning solo trajectory, Julie founded Sappy Records and co-organized early iterations of Sappyfest. And so, I’m sharing this 2011 encounter with Julie and most of her kids (plus a cameo by Rheostatics’ Dave Bidini), because it’s enjoyable and provides some insights about her music and Sappyfest.
