A.J. Fullerton & Jake Friel at Swallow Hill - Denver, CO.

For more than a decade, A.J. Fullerton and Jake Friel have been making music side by side, developing the kind of chemistry that only comes from years on the road together. As Fullerton & Friel, the pair leans into the heart of the acoustic blues sound that’s raw, groove-driven, and deeply rooted in tradition.
Fullerton — a guitarist, singer, Billboard charting songwriter & producer — is recognized for his intricate fingerpicking and soulful, roots-based style shaped by Delta blues, folk, and rock. Friel complements that foundation with expressive harmonica, strong, unvarnished vocals, and a natural feel for the music’s emotional core.
Together, they create a grounded blend of blues, rock, and American roots music that values tradition while pushing the boundaries of those genres. The duo is touriung their new album Fullerton & Friel Vol. II released in April 2026 on Gitcha Records.
