BEER & BANJOS is a free music series presented in partnership with SouthEnd Brewing and Midlife on the second Thursday of each month. The house band of all house bands, Midlife Trip hosts each month, followed by a local or regional act. This month we welcome the Don Julin Trio! 

DON JULIN is a mandolin player, a commercial composer, recording engineer, and best-selling author, and he works really hard at everything he does. Julin puts it simply, “I am a blue-collar player. I like working man’s music, whether it’s bluegrass or jazz or rock ‘n’ roll or blues. You know, regular folk’s music.” The Don Julin’s Trio ’25 features Tom Knific on bass and Hayes Griffin on guitar. The Trio takes a genre-bending approach, delivering a fresh, unpredictable concert experience that is both innovative and entertaining. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience Don Julin’s Trio ’25 live.
