Julian Lage

Julian Lage tours Australia for the first time, continuing celebrations of his breakthrough solo album, World's Fair.

Grammy-nominated guitar virtuoso and composer Julian Lage is hailed as one of his generation’s greatest talents. The New York-based musician began his career at the age of five and has charted a colourful, ever-changing, and ever-innovative path since, one that has earned him an Independent Music Award and countless invitations to collaborate with musical heavyweights, including Gary Burton, Yoko Ono, Jim Hall, John Zorn, and more.

For his first-ever tour of Australia, Lage is continuing the 10th anniversary celebrations for his beloved 2015 solo acoustic album World’s Fair.  His first solo release, the album was recorded using a 1939 Martin 000-18. Like much of Lage’s music, the record defies genre, as he finds unexpected connection points between classical music and the American folk tradition.
