Raised in Birmingham, AL, J Juliano traveled up to the midwest to find musicians that shared his musical vision. J (Vocals, Guitar) met up with Tim Bennett (Drums), Jay Bennett (Guitar), and Phil Ajjarapu (Bass, Backing Vocals) and Dry County was born. After a successful first summer out playing the Chicago club scene as well as opening for major label acts including John Anderson and Brad Paisley, Dry County has had success selling their self-titled debut CD under their own label and have recently finished second effort, "Live in Birmingham".
