In 2013, Justin released his first studio album “This is Gonna Hurt.” The album was written, recorded and produced alongside longtime friend Ryan Sutton. While working two jobs, playing shows, military duties, and pursuing a bachelor’s degree, Justin completed the record. Today, Justin has been a mainstay on Broadway in Nashville, TN playing several venues that include Second Fiddle, Legends, Tootsies, and Honky Tonk Central. He has also made several trips to Texas, playing the famed Stockyards strip in Ft. Worth. With the support of many friends in that area, he considers it one of his favorite trips to make. While stationed in Cheyenne, WY Justin played several venues in the area, private events and even the famed Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo.
