Chris Juhlin
Music and What's NewBio
This Washington-born songwriter takes the chilled-out, inland-surfer vibe and combines it with some emotive, lyrically driven folk. After a three-year stint in Boulder, Colorado and inspired by the outdoors, Chris set out for Alaska. Here he has collaborated with the drummer Nick Wilkes, bass player Jeremiah Bakken, and pedal steel phenom Earl Hughes to form The Collective, while setting up studio operations in his dry-cabin in outlying Fairbanks, Alaska.
Juhlin’s style is subtle and shares a kinship to the songwriting of the late sixties. “Dylan , Floyd, and Bob Marley played a big part in my early interest in the guitar and songwriting. I couldn’t put the thing down,” Juhlin explains. “I’ve always most enjoyed music that leaves space for the listener to live in.”
