RICHARD JULIAN is a composer, lyricist, and singer based in Brooklyn, New York.

He has been praised by distinguished musicians from Randy Newman to Bonnie Raitt for his singular songcraft which combines elements of folk and jazz to paint wry existential portraits of life.

Julian’s music career gained some prominence in 2002 as the opener for Norah Jones’ Come Away With Me tour. Julian and Jones subsequently teamed up to front The Little Willies, an urban country group which featured telecaster wizard Jim Campilongo. The group recorded two albums for Blue Note records. 

Julian has released seven albums of his own, including two on EMI — Slow New York (2006) — and Sunday Morning In Saturday’s Shoes (2009) — which garnered critical acclaim and prompted headline appearances in the United States, Japan, & Europe.

Julian’s yet-to-be-named eighth release marks a departure from his signature acoustic guitar style in favor of electric keyboard and piano. The album features ten original songs accompanied by a noteworthy array of musicians on the New York City music scene — a scene in which Julian plays an integral role through his association with Bar LunÀtico, the popular Brooklyn venue he co-owns and curates.

It is set for release on music streaming platforms, and on vinyl, this autumn, 2024.

"One of the best songwriters and record makers I've heard in a very long time." ~ Randy Newman

"...a voice as distinctive as a thumbprint...if only more songwriters - and more people - had his balance of wit and fortitude." ~ Jim Farber, NYTimes

“Richard Julian is cleverly disguised as a sensitive singer-songwriter: In fact, he's a stealth soul singer and an astonishing storyteller" ~ Claudia Marshall, NPR
