Julian Sas hails from Beneden Leeuwen, a small town in the area where the rivers Rhine, Maas en Waal form the Dutch delta. An area that is an inspiration for Julian’s song writing, as much as the Mississippi delta inspired the great classic bluesmen. Although only 31 years old, Julian has already been favorably compared to such blues luminaries and guitar giants like Johnny Winter, Rory Gallagher and Jimi Hendrix. His playing can be loud and aggressive or sensitive and subtle. Always tasteful, always musical and always emotional. And nobody can boogie like Julian!
Besides John Lee Hooker, Freddie King, Willie Dixon or any
other of the classic blues artists that inspire Julian, Rory Gallagher is
major influence and inspiration. It is therefore extremely flattering and
obviously a great honor that Julian Sas has been invited on a number of occasions
to take Rory’s place in the original Rory Gallagher band. Importantly
it also shows the respect that fellow musicians have for Julian.
