World-class guitar virtuoso and composer, Julian Lage, does his first ever tour of Australia to celebrate of the 10th anniversary of his debut solo album 'World's Fair'.
Born in California and currently based in New York City, Lage began his musical career at a very young age, and has charted a colourful, ever changing, and ever innovative path since, one that has, so far, earned him five GRAMMY nominations, including a nomination for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album at the 67th annual GRAMMY Awards for 2024's critically acclaimed Speak to Me, one Independent Music Award and countless invitations to collaborate with the best and brightest working in music today.
Like much of Lage's music, the record defies genre, as he finds unexpected connection points between classical music and the American folk tradition. In addition to touring, Lage is celebrating the album's anniversary with a new vinyl release, as well as an accompanying songbook.
Over the course of his multi-decade career, Lage has collaborated with fellow musical heavyweights including Gary Burton, Yoko Ono, Jim Hall, John Zorn and more.
