We are so stoked to have this rockin’ blues double bill hitting our stage, 2 bands on their way to the Legendary Blues Cruise! Elk Creek fav Gabe Stillman is bringing his blues buddy Davie Julia and his band to Millheim for what promises to be an EPIC blues throwdown!

David Julia is a nationally touring blues artist and prodigious guitarist whose talent shines brightly in the contemporary blues music scene. Born and raised in the vibrant city of Orlando, Florida, David’s early exposure to music came from a melting pot of influences, ranging from classic blues legends like B.B. King and Muddy Waters to modern rock and Americana.

From intimate club settings to larger festivals, David’s electrifying shows continue to garner rave reviews. David Julia is not just a guitarist; he is a beacon of the blues revival, embodying the spirit of the genre through his innovative sound and relentless pursuit of excellence.

No stranger to the Elk Creek stage, The Gabe Stillman Band hits the stage in high gear and only goes higher as they embrace all corners of American Roots Music with their impromptu selection of original gems and carefully chosen covers.

Since landing in the final 8 of the 35th Annual International Blues Challenge in Memphis TN, and further honored as the recipient of the esteemed Gibson Guitar Award, Gabe and his band have been focused on expanding their footprint on a national and international level.

Based in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, Gabe formed the band in 2015, shortly after graduating from Boston’s Berklee College of Music.

Gabe’s first self-produced release “The Grind” received wide acclaim. Gabe’s 2nd release, “Flying’ High” is backed by the legendary Nighthawks.
