Don Julin

Don Julin, the author of the best-selling "Mandolin For Dummies" (Wiley 2012) and creator of Mandolins Heal The World (online mandolin school), has developed a reputation for being one of the most eclectic mandolin players/teachers on the scene today.

Don has released over 20 CDs of original music and played on countless others. His original compositions appear in many network and cable television programs. Recent clients include HBO, NBC, Showtime, Bravo, National Geographic Explorer, and more. His 2024 release, Fractured Fiddle Tunes, is a collection of re-imagined traditional fiddle tunes.

Julin was instrumental in launching the career of bluegrass phenom Billy Strings. The duo Billy Strings & Don Julin toured the USA in a mini-van (2013-2015), playing over 500 shows to bluegrass fans, young and old alike. The duo recorded two CDs (Rock of Ages 2012) and (Fiddle Tune X 2014).
