Julie Doiron feels good about recording, nine albums into her career (photo provided).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cThe version of my songs released or recorded is projected out to the public,\u201d explains Doiron. \u201cThis means that the recorded version of my song will be what my fans think of when they think of my music, and I have a tendency to evolve the way I play my music constantly.\u201d<\/p>\n
The fact that Doiron is looking forward to heading home after her tour to experiment with different ideas and get back in the recording studio confirms that she\u2019s actually gotten over that fear.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love writing about things I\u2019m going through, whether it\u2019s heartbreak, falling in love, being happy, or feeling down,\u201d she says. \u201cI love writing about things that other people can identify with, whether they\u2019ve felt the same way or gone through similar things.\u201d<\/p>\n
One of the songs that really influenced Doiron was \u201cRed Earth\u201d by Crash Vegas. Doiron practiced that song over and over trying to perfect it, and she feels that it helped drive her towards her career as a musician.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been blessed to collaborate and work with many great musicians during my career,\u201d says Doiron. \u201cWooden Stars really helped me define my sound, while every other musician I\u2019ve worked with has helped me grow in one way or another.\u201d<\/p>\n
Doiron loves evolving her songs and feels the same way about her shows. She always tries to top her last show every time she goes out on stage and sees engaging the audience and perfecting her performance as a challenge that\u2019s exciting to take on.<\/p>\n
\u201cI usually feel nervous before my shows and love the fact that I\u2019m forced to go out there and give it my best,\u201d says Doiron. \u201cSeeing how the different versions of my songs turn out and finishing the concert feeling elated are what really gets me going.\u201d<\/p>\n
She used to rely on something else to help get her going: Doiron recently tried playing some shows without alcohol and says it\u2019s an eye-opening yet sometimes nerve-wracking experience for her.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been a cool experience being completely sober and has almost brought me to tears at times,\u201d she says. \u201cHalf a glass of wine is what really takes the edge off for me, but now I\u2019ll do sun salutations or find other ways to relax me.\u201d<\/p>\n
