"Don’t be silly, protect your willy’ or ahh…instrument! These cases provide the proper padding for those rough tour rides, plane flights, guitar droppings, or roof hopping ways of life! I don’t trust my babies in anything else.”
Hailing from San Diego, Southern Californian roots, Jules Whelpton came into a small but faithful music community. Born in Oceanside, CA, Jules grew up between two loves: music and theatre. Her former debut band, Daddy Issues, touched on this split, as their theatrics and music put on a show in a community where the singer songwriter shows were favored over band performances. Her music on her debut album Handle It (2016), with the help of songwriter Angela Alvarez, are fueled by her rich low bass lines, pop rock instrumentation, and power drumming from Brett Weir (Red Sun Rising, Downpour). Produced and recorded by Jim Wirt (Incubus, Fiona Apple) at Crushtone Studios in Cleveland, the band earned an LA Critic’s Music Award in 2016, and they were nominated for “Best Rock Album” at the San Diego’s Music Awards.
After the band split because of a trademark issue from another artist, Jules met Roni Lee (The Runaways, Kim Fowley), who also created and runs Play Like A Girl Records. Together they have toured and performed in many towns and situations as the Roni Lee Group. Currently they star in many Facebook live videos and have done rock tips for Cathryn Beeks’ Listen Local Show.
Not only is Jules known as #thatblondebassist but she also known for being an electric violinist, playing a pink violin on stage. When not performing, she teaches at the Youth Arts Academy in Del Mar, CA and loves to skateboard. Catch her zany self, crowdsurfing at your next show!
