She was a child in a log home in Canada when her father, who was struggling to make a living as a horse trainer, heard George Strait’s “The Chair”. The song stirred the Texan in him and he left to establish himself in the Lone Star state before bringing his young family to join him. Years later, the soul-stirring power of music in her father’s life would mark Katy’s as well, giving her a dream that persistence and hard work are now fulfilling.

The family settled in Weatherford and Katy, the only family member who didn’t want to ride horses, turned her attention to sports, cheerleading and working part-time at the local Sonic Drive-In. Hard work earned her a place on the varsity softball team that went 34-0 and won the State Championship her senior year.

Friends eventually convinced her to sign up for a talent contest at her middle school…. where friends and family were surprised to learn that Katy could sing. And sing she did – at local festivals, area pageants or nearby retirement homes – “anywhere she could sing”. Katy attended Tarleton State University where she earned a degree in business marketing. She also took part in intramural sports and continued to sing at the Stephenville Opry and Johnny High Review.

“I love to wrap myself around a big ballad – to explore that feeling, and to sing songs that tell stories. I see music as inspiring lives and helping people through both difficult and happy times”. Ultimately Katy wants a show that’s full of energy but contains places where she can really put those ballads across. “I want people to know they’re coming to the show to have a great time but be inspired too”.

Katy knows the challenge that lies in front of her but the girl who grew up learning what hard work was on the softball field and then spent years learning her craft at festivals and fairs, is ready for the challenge, and each supportive fan, each encouraging industry professional, spurs her on. “Their positive influence makes me work harder, - they think I can, so I think I can.” Coupled with her talent, it’s an attitude destined to take her places but we are very pleased to have her here with us on stage at Granbury Live until it does.

Julie grew up in Denton, Texas and graduated from Denton High School. She attended Henderson County Jr College where she was in the college choir and on the drill team.

Julie began her singing/acting career in church musicals and participated in community theater, with her first solo at the age of 10 as Baby June in Gypsy. She began tap and ballet dancing at the age of 2 – with the last name Temple and naturally curly hair she said it was inevitable. She eventually earned a dance/choir scholarship to junior college. Julie plays the piano and violin. She has also performed on the competitive level in Texas Bluegrass Style fiddle.

With a wide range of vocal abilities including rock, R&B, soul, country and show tunes, along with the ability to sing both lead and backup with excellent harmonies, Julie presents the total vocal package. She has performed in many different venues over the years including local and touring bands playing clubs, casinos, community theater and, of course, church choir. She currently is a proud member of the corporate band Zero260, led by our own Kerry Brown.

Julie lives in Little Elm with her only “child’ Moe, a seven pound toy poodle. She collects glass/ceramic eggs, loves anything purple, crossword puzzles, music trivia, Skip-Bo and “The Young and the Restless”. Six months ago, she joined with her Worship Pastor in his venture to open a new church, PointChurch (www.getthepoint.tv) in Little Elm, TX where she is vocal coordinator and feature vocalist for the Praise Team.
