In a 2016 interview promoting "Arclight" on [[NPR]] program "[[Fresh Air]]" Lage revealed that around the time of the release of "World's Fair" he struggled with a bout of [[Focal dystonia]], a neurological disorder resulting from the repeated performance of tasks, that caused spasming in his left arm and hand when trying to play the guitar. He believed that the condition was brought on through playing and gripping the neck of his guitar too hard because the guitar was bigger than he was while learning at age 5. At the time he believed that that was what he needed to do to "sound official... and [not] drop the guitar." Eventually he had to "re-learn how to play the guitar in a way that... addressed these tendencies that got [him] in trouble in the first place." <ref>https://www.npr.org/2016/04/13/474083480/jazz-guitarist-julian-lage-on-arclight-and-shifting-musical-genres</ref>

Eventually he had to "re-learn how to play the guitar in a way that... addressed these tendencies that got [him] in trouble in the first place."[11]

He has worked in a trio with Scott Colley and drummer Kenny Wollesen and has recorded duo albums with guitarists Chris Eldridge, Gyan Riley, and Nels Cline. For the 2017 guitar duo album Mount Royal, Lage and Eldridge received a Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album.[12]
