Sailing between the influences of Merle Travis and Doc Watson, Leadbelly and Muddy Waters, Julian the Drifter brings to life a range of ancient traditions, rural blues, ragtime, and murder ballads. His evocative performances paint a picture of a bygone America, rich in stories of hobos, hillbillies, blues, and dark tales lit by the moon. In 2020, he released his first album, reviving music that has captivated listeners for more than a century.
