Biography

After three independent-label releases, New York-based songwriter/guitarist/vocalist Richard Julian made his major-label debut in 2006 with Slow New York (Manhattan Records/EMI), introducing what Harp Magazine calls Julian’s “nimble lyricism” and “keenly observational songs” to a broader audience nationally and internationally. A ubiquitous presence of late, he has also enjoyed success as a member of The Little Willies, a country side-project featuring himself, Norah Jones, and Jim Campilongo; and as a co-producer, writer, and performer on vocalist/songwriter Sasha Dobson’s bossa-tinged Modern Romance (Secret Sun Recordings).

Slow New York, produced by Brad Jones and the partner-team of Lee Alexander and Norah Jones, proved a critical favorite. The Washington Post opined. ”…may be one of the year’s best albums…” and Julian has spent the last year traversing the globe in support of it, most notably on tours with Bonnie Raitt, Rosanne Cash, and Madelleine Peyroux. His “time off” has been spent touring with The Little Willies and as a sideman for Dobson. “It certainly has been a busy year for me,” says the unassuming Julian, “if not a bit musically schizophrenic.”

Currently, Julian is preparing to record for a 2007 release.

“One of the best songwriters and record makers I’ve heard in a very long time.”
- Randy Newman

“Richard just knocks me out. Some of the coolest, smartest and original music I’ve heard in years.”
- Bonnie Raitt

“My favorite collection of songs by one of my favorite songwriters.”
- Norah Jones

“…a voice as distinctive as a thumbprint…if only more songwriters - and
more people - had his balance of wit and fortitude.”

    His independently released album Smash Palace is so luscious it'll make your head swim. I got up early today just to listen to Sleepin In. No irony.
