He’s played major upstate venues and festivals like Proctors Theatre, The Linda, Tulip Fest, WMHT, and Summernight. He’s opened for bands like Gin Blossoms, Village People, and Girl Talk. In 2016, Justin released his hybrid EP/Short Film, Jack & Jill, to a packed house, backed by a 8-piece ensemble.

Justin’s songwriting is “punchy, driving, rhythmically intricate and layered”, full of “honest language”, and “overflowing with diverse creative ideas”. Throughout his career, what has never changed is a commitment to expertly crafted, emotionally intense lyrics and intricate guitar playing.
