Julijan Eric & Midnight Lightnin' - Channeling Jimi Hendrix

Jimi Hendrix did not play the guitar - he interrogated it, squeezed it, made it speak and scream. His chords were explosions, his solos stories full of smoke, sweat, and electric freedom. On this evening at Blue Monday, Julijan Eric and Midnight Lightnin' pay due tribute to the legacy of the guitar legend.

Julijan Eric treats the guitar like a conversation partner, not just an instrument: his solos flow, speak, scream, and whisper - all in the spirit of Hendrix. Perfection is secondary; expression is everything. Even when he plays the guitar with his teeth, every note remains soulful. And yes, the amplifier? Built by a true Hendrix technician.

"Sometimes it's hard to believe that someone can create the feeling of hearing a Hendrix classic just through their presence. That's Julijan," says drummer Zlatko Djogic.

Expect a journey through Hendrix's rich repertoire: from the Experience to the Band of Gypsys to Woodstock - songs like Voodoo Chile, Fire, Spanish Castle Magic, Freedom, or Machine Gun are reinterpreted, often in long, wild improvisations. No concert is the same as the other - always surprising, always intense.

Midnight Lightnin’ is more than a tribute band. They take Hendrix’s songs as a springboard for experiments and their own expressiveness. Blues, rock ’n’ roll, improvisation - everything merges into an electrifying sound.
