Julian James and the Moonshine State

From Melbourne's back alley bars to Australia’s major Festivals (Gympie Muster, Echuca Winter Blues, Tamworth CMF) - Award-winning Julian James is loved by folk and blues audiences all over Australia, with his whiskey drenched sound as much at home in 2021 as it would have been blaring out of the wireless in 1921.

For his brand new tack Devil Town, Julian collaborated with Golden Guitar winning Americana producer Matt Fell (Slim Dusty, Shane Nicholson, Time Freedman) which really goes to show the amazing synergy that can be created when a young artist teams up with an experienced and innately creative producer. Fell has crafted Julian’s unique voice and down-home songwriting to new highs, creating a modern record that could have been dragged straight from a Louisiana swamp.

Both the track Devil Town and its outstanding animated video hark back to an era so bygone it might as well be new again, so grab a glass of moonshine on the front porch, wait for the sun to set and smile at the devil when he knocks on your screen door…
