About Me

"Breathy, gorgeous acoustic solo tunes from the Maryland man of a million musical manifestations." -Ted Gordon of The Red Shed
Hello:
Hi! I'm Justin Marc Lloyd. I write songs and perform them with my vocal chords various instruments (mostly an acoustic guitar). In the vast and overpopulated sea of singer/songwriters, maybe you can find something unique that moves you in my songs. Thank you kindly for listening.
Cheap music:
Tour is expensive. It is not often I get to make enough money to pay for gas and food while I'm on the road. I know all of you are probably broke, too. So, for a limited time, and for just $5, I will send you password protected download links to both of my albums. That's 32 MP3s. If you're interested, send $5 to [email protected] via Paypal and I will email you back with the links. Thanks.
Tour:
I am booking a summer tour. If you can help book any of the vacant dates in my tour dates section in any of the areas listed, please let me know ASAP! I like playing with loud bands but relaxed atmospheres are fine, too.
Coming soon:
A new lengthy solo album of songs, a folk collaboration with Jessica Plummer (EP), and a Birthday Massacre cover project (EP). Some or all of these may be released on a small independent label.

DANCING KNIVESIt's a sick, sad world of loneliness and I am lost. If we could have met sooner, memories would be a gift and not a cost. So, I pay for a smile with the knives dancing in my chest and ti...
