Justin Trawick Group at IOTA on July 12th!!!

Look Justin up on iTunes!!!!!!...like right now!!!

About Me

A short history: Justin Trawick was born on January 22nd, 1982 in Leesburg, VA. In eighth grade he discovered his father’s guitar under the stairs of his old house, in college he wrote songs for a band called “Woodburn Road” (he didn’t sing though because his girlfriend at the time said he had a bad voice), and in 2005 Justin started playing open mics around the Washington DC, Virginia, and Maryland area. Thus ends the history lesson.
Now 2008, Justin and his live band the “Justin Trawick Group” have opened for such artists as Bob Schneider, Brett Dennen, Sara Bareilles, Pat Green, Tyrone Wells, Edwin McCain, Ingram Hill, Corey Harris, Robinella, Cowboy Mouth, Jimmies Chicken Shack, and even the Ying Yang Twins. He won the “Emerging Artist Competition” at the 2006 Takoma Park Folk Festival, has gone on several East Coast tours, and performed at almost all the major area venues including the 930 Club three times and the Kennedy Center twice. Finally, on May 10, 2008, Justin will be releasing his second full length album, “Justin Trawick Live At IOTA” which is a live album recorded on January 4th, 2008 at IOTA Club and Cafe in Arlington, VA, where Justin now calls home.
Lastly, thanks so much for coming to Justin Trawick’s MySpace page. Take a moment to look around and check out his schedule to see if he’s performing near you. Listen to the songs and watch some of the YouTube videos. If you feel so inclined, sign up for his mailing list so you can be notified of new shows, upcoming albums, and get access to free music only found only on www.justintrawick.com/bananasaregross. Feel free to search his name in iTunes where you can find his music or create a “Justin Trawick” radio station on www.pandora.com (which Justin personally thinks is the best website ever). If you feel like venturing away from MySpace, go to www.justintrawick.com where you can stream all his music for free. Or hey…you could always just google his name and see what you find (which will include a “Justin Trawick” in Alabama that apparently is quite the track star!!!…nice job dude!).
Anyway, thanks for your time and all your support and we’ll see you on the road at one of Justin’s shows!!!
