About Me



Brooklyn, NY -- June 2006

Justin has been playing guitar for 15 years, assimilating early interests in vintage country blues with the ins and outs of modern independently and creatively made music, giving way to 2 records of intimate & infectious material written by lamplight in the hills of lesser appalachia.
