Julius Rodriguez defies context. You might find him in a packed jazz haunt behind the piano with energy surging from his fingers. You could scroll social media and catch him alternating between drums, bass, and guitar at the speed of a jump cut. You might step onto festival grounds and see him on stage jamming like his life depends on it. No matter where, the New York-born and Los Angeles-based multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer electrifies any stage—transcending perceived boundaries between genres and styles, redefining music to mirror his own fluid creative inclinations, and delivering a sound that's his alone.
This engagement of Julius Rodriguez is made possible in part through the Jazz Touring Network of Mid Atlantic Arts with support from the National Endowment for the Arts.
