Julian Lambertson Fiddling

Solo fiddling featuring the traditional dance tunes of the Celtic nations. Most melodies are lively, foot-tapping pieces, with intermittent soulful slow tunes and waltzes.

A consummate musician with over thirty years of experience, Julian Lambertson has performed and taught students and workshops all over the United States and Western Europe. He also has extensive experience in musical composition, song & tune arrangement, music production, and studio music recording. His main instrument is the fiddle (a.k.a. violin), though he also breaks out a vocal number every now and then. Currently, Julian is the fiddler for up and coming Irish band, Nearing Neara, and performs frequently with Massachusetts-based traditional Irish band New Leaf, as well as providing freelance fiddling performances. In years past, he toured extensively as the fiddler for international Celtic rock sensation Seven Nations, and before that Jacksonville, FL-based Celtic Rock band, Rathkeltair. In his freelance work, he has notably filled in for fiddlers in performing bands Alberta Bound and Quickstep at the theme park, Epcot. On St. Patrick's Day of 2013, Julian was featured on the national television station QVC, appearing with the band Claddagh Ceol.

Julian’s musical style is firmly grounded in the traditional music of Ireland, with his skill's foundation built from a disciplined classical background. It also fuses elements of a myriad of other World music influences, including Scottish, Blues, Rock n’ Roll, Old Time, Eastern European, Greek, Country, Cape Breton, English, and Breton music.
