Yuri Naumov returns to JetLAG Fest with his unmistakable nine-string sound - a fusion of blues, classical phrasing and raw emotional clarity. A pioneer of what’s been called Transcendental Blues, Naumov plays without picks, coaxing his custom-built guitar into layered harmonies and counterpoints that evoke the depth of three instruments at once.

A longtime nomad with the base in New York and performances across the globe, in his compositions Naumov builds immersive sonic worlds - luminous, meditative and soul-forward. His sets offer a rare kind of nourishment: electric, inward and deeply human.
