Julien Kasper
Rock, Jazz Guitar Instrumentalist
Julien is an Associate Professor on the guitar faculty of Berklee College of Music where he teaches labs on Jimi Hendrix and Jeff Beck. With his latest CD The New Imperial, Julien not only flaunts his blistering guitar chops but also crafts memorable melodies and grooves.
