Hailing from the mountains of East Tennessee, this national recording and touring Americana Roots songwriter is steeped in the music, stories, and folklore of the mountains he calls home. His sound and styles are heavily influenced and emulates the country, bluegrass and old-time mountain music he heard in his youth. His band "The Cathead Biscuit Boys" are the perfect meld of hard driving and toe tapping melodies that compliment his writing style. Justin grew up just 20 minutes from The Birthplace of Country Music, Bristol Tennessee/Virginia and a short drive thru “The Gap” to Hiltons/Maces Springs Va. home of the beloved Carter Family, A.P., Sara, and Mother Maybelle.  He cut his teeth on these songs, sounds and stories of the founding of this music to bring you his driving brand of Appalachian Mountain Soul. “The soul of Appalachian Mountain Soul is not about the style of music but rather the people and the heart of the music”, says Justin. He is heavily influenced by the songwriting of many of the greats including Merle Haggard, Kris Kristofferson to today’s contemporaries Chris Stapleton and Tyler Childers.  Constantly being “genre’d” by the industry, Justin is an Americana artist with his  Appalachian roots spewed throughout is lyrics and music.
