As an artist at the forefront of the new generation of musicians, who are breathing fresh life into Blues Music here in the 21st century, Julian Fauth has been described by BLUES REVUE magazine as " a true force of nature". Canada's national newspaper the Globe & Mail hailed his Electro-Fi debut CD "Songs of Vice & Sorrow" as "unusually innovative, epic and dazzling". Julian was born in Germany and moved to North America as a child. Inspired by a Blues Music sampler LP that his father brought home from his job at a radio station, a young Julian was soon exploring the world of Memphis Slim and other Blues legends. He attended the Jam sessions that guitar master MEL BROWN hosted in the early 90's and further honed his craft in the vibrant Kensington Market club scene. A gifted songwriter, still in his 30's, Britain's prestigious BLUES & RHYTHM magazine has already compared his work to BOB DYLAN and TOM WAITS and the Toronto Star proclaims him as "Utterly original, Julian Fauth is a killer on the keys and an outstanding songwriter, best of all he's an extraordinarily convincing singer".
I want to emphasize that I play good clean barrelhouse Blues (with occasional bouts of insanity). There's something here for everyone: murder, robbery, drugs, gang violence, prostitution. My gigs are rarely listed or reviewed, but there are plenty of squeegie punks,divorced businessmen,anarchist poets,hot club chicks,former movie stars,elderly jazz musicians and drunken comedians who know me by word of mouth and come out to see me. I'd like to thank them all. - Julian Fauth.
"Julian Fauth is the most strikingly original young blues singer/songwriter to come down the Blues highway in many moons" - Andrew Galloway,President, Electro-Fi Records.
