Prodigious guitarist Julian Lage has spent more than a decade searching through the myriad strains of American musical history via impeccable technique, free association and a spirit of infinite possibility. The California-born, New York-based musician boasts a prolific solo resume, as well as collaborations with Gary Burton and John Zorn and duo projects with Nels Cline, Chris Eldridge and Fred Hersch, among others.
Lage’s new album, Speak to Me, offers a series of dispatches from his ongoing search for narrative beyond words. Intimate in tone and capacious in intention, the album represents some of the most ambitious music Lage has documented to date. Its originals travel a wide range of American music, and delight in the deliberate crossing of wires between gospel hymns and rural blues, California singer-songwriter sunshine and skronky jazz.
Tickets are on sale now.
Master Class Ticket Package
Julian Lage is thrilled to offer an exclusive Master Class at select cities on his Speak to Me Tour. All Master Class tickets include admission for one to the evening’s concert. Where available, Master Class tickets will include early admission to the show. Unfortunately, we’re unable to offer ‘master class-only tickets’ at this time. Start time for the class is generally an hour before advertised doors but exact start time will be communicated with ticket buyers around one week before the show. During each class, 30 minutes will be spent teaching to a unique piece of curriculum before a 10-15 minute Q&A session. Tickets to these classes are limited to ensure everyone comes away with a unique and hands-on experience. Participants are not required to bring instruments – topics are not necessarily tied to instruction and technique. In addition to the class, participants will leave with an exclusive Julian Lage poster.
