Julie Doiron began her career in music in 1990 at the age of 18 in Moncton, New Brunswick Canada playing bass in Eric’s Trip, a folky yet psychedelic band that was to become the undisputed underground darling of Canadian Music. Eric’s Trip were the first of many maritime Canadians signed to Sub Pop and found international recognition releasing several albums and touring widely. Following 1996’s Purple Blue, Eric’s Trip announced their breakup and Julie Doiron embarked on her solo career, first releasing songs as “Broken Girl” but then under her own name. Since then she has worked with a veritable Who’s Who list of independent rock giants, including Dave Shouse (Grifters), Howe Gelb (Giant Sand) and Tragically Hip frontman Gord Downie, to name a few. “Fellow Canadian songwriter Leonard Cohen once titled an album Songs from a Room. Montreal-based Julie Doiron apparently took up residence there and removed whatever furniture was left behind.” - Rob O’Connor, Rolling Stone juliedoiron.com

“Lo Fine is a band dedicated to the difficult task of performing delicate rock-based music, committed to the notion that there’s a place for popular music that values the sublime and restrained over the raw and showy. It’s an approach that puts Lo Fine in league not only with the Scud Mountain Boys but with such acts as Lambchop, Vic Chesnutt, and Boston’s own Willard Grant Conspiracy.” (Sean Glennon, Boston Globe) lofine.com
