FINAL TOUR DATES BEFORE JULIAN JAMES AND BECI KATE 

EMBARK UPON THEIR EUROPEAN TOUR!

Award-winning Melbourne musician Julian James dives deep into the spirit of Americana with his spirited new single, White Lightning. A high-energy celebration of roots and bluegrass, this track fuses Julian's signature whiskey-soaked sound with a powerhouse of musical talent, delivering a song destined to get toes tapping.

White Lightning will be released across all digital platforms on Saturday, March 1, 2025.

Produced by ARIA and multiple Golden Guitar award-winning Matt Fell, the track features a stellar lineup of collaborators. Pete Denahy, who once shared the stage with Australian country music legend Slim Dusty, lends his masterful fiddle to the track, while Hamish Davidson (Davidson Brothers) commands the banjo and mandolin with fiery finesse.

Says Julian: "There's something magical about bringing together such a talented group of musicians. With White Lightning, I wanted to honour the energy of bluegrass while giving it my own twist. Having Pete on the track, knowing he's played alongside Slim Dusty—an icon of Australian country music—makes this even more special."

The release of White Lightning follows the success of Julian's previous single, Catfish, a fresh and upbeat reimagining of the Muddy Waters classic Catfish Blues. The track was met with widespread acclaim, earning a spot on Joe Bonamassa's Cutting Edge Blues playlist and reaffirming Julian's place as a leading voice in modern blues and Americana.  

Whether performing with his band, The Moonshine State, Julian's live shows have become synonymous with passion and raw energy.

 Now, he takes to the road in duo mode with his wife, the vibrantly talented Beci Kate on percussion and backing vocals.

Get ready for White Lightning—a fiery anthem that captures the essence of Americana Blues and pays homage to the rich traditions of roots and bluegrass.

Julian James will continue his Australian touring run in metro and regional Victoria, South Australia and for the first time, Western Australia over the coming months, before performing a string of shows around Europe.
