David Julia & Jen in the Right Light Concert
May
31
8:00 PM20:00

David Julia & Jen in the Right Light Concert

David Julia is a guitarist, singer-songwriter, and entertainer from Central Florida. He began his professional career playing at his hometown Italian restaurant at only ten years old. By 13, David was playing the Blues all over the state of Florida. From regionally touring to competing and performing in the Memphis-based Blues Foundations International Blues Challenge four years in a row, David Julia is an up and coming force in the country’s Blues scene. David released his EP, Simple Things, in 2016, consisting of four original works and one cover. His first album, Inspired, produced by Mike Zito and released on the VizzTone Record label, debuted in 2018. The title “Inspired” is paying tribute to the Blues masters whose recordings he has learned from. David has been personally touched by the current generation of musicians who have taught, befriended, encouraged, and helped him along the way. He credits his success to the unwavering support of his family, and thanks them for always pushing him to follow his passion. You can find out more about David, including his original songs, performances, and show dates on his website: davidjuliamusic.com, Instagram: davidjuliamusic, Facebook : davidjuliamusic, or on Spotify under “David Julia”.

Sometime around 2015, Jen in the Right Light was born in a beer-can littered shed in sunny central florida. The group started as nothing more than a few childhood friends getting together to share their love for writing original music, but grew into a years-long quest to make albums and memories that would outlive its own members. Lovingly dubbed “slack rock” by friends of the band, Jen’s music is an unyieldingly original blend of the sounds that informed its members tastes and instilled their passion for making music in their early years. Its influences blur the lines between 70’s psych, 2000’s emo, jazz, yacht rock, jam bands of all eras, and alternative/indie rock of the modern day.
