David Julia - Inspired (2018)

David Julia is in his teens and dead serious about the blues. He began performing at the age of seven, and over the next ten years has grown into a blues powerhouse who is beginning to establish himself far beyond his Florida home. David has been touring regionally and has already participated in the Memphis-based Blues Foundations International Blues Challenge four years in a row, drawing rave notices from the worldwide crowd.David entitled his new album INSPIRED, because hes very aware of the debt he owes to the musicians who have inspired him. Beyond the blues masters whose records he has learned from, he has been personally touched by the current generation of musicians who have come through his home state, taught, befriended and encouraged him, and helped him along the way. The album was produced by Mike Zito, and includes six original compositions plus songs by J.P. Soars, Michael Burks, Tab Benoit, Albert Castiglia and Matt Schofield.
