Julian James & Beci KateJulian James and Beci Kate are an Australian blues and roots duo who have spent years living on the road and playing shows across Australia, the UK and Europe. Julian brings gravelly vocals, fingerpicked guitar, slide and harmonica, while Beci adds percussion, harmonies and plenty of fire. Together they play a foot-stomping mix of hill country blues, Americana, folk and country. Their shows are loose, honest and full of energy, with plenty of stories, laughs and songs from the road.
