Julian Lage is an American guitarist from Santa Rosa, California, who began performing publicly as a child prodigy in the late 1990s and established a career primarily within jazz and contemporary instrumental music. His work blends jazz with elements of folk, country and rock, moving between solo acoustic, small-group and electric ensemble contexts and evolving from a young improviser into a versatile recording and touring musician with an emphasis on melodic improvisation and nuanced tone.
