Artists:Justin Roth
From WWR
|
From an early age, singer/songwriter Justin Roth stood out as a musician. A very determined and independent child, in the 3rd grade he declined an invitation to sing with the St. Croix Valley Boys Choir because he did not want to miss Saturday morning cartoons. Since then, he has put that dedication to cartoons behind him and applied it to music. We can all be glad for that.
As his audience has grown, Justin has shared the stage with many artists including: David Wilcox, Martin Sexton, Ellis Paul, Shawn Colvin, John Gorka among others. After receiving a standing ovation at Swallow Hill Music Hall in Denver, CO while opening for Cheryl Wheeler and receiving an encore at Big Top Chautauqua in Bayfield, WI while opening for David Wilcox, Justin keeps winning audiences’ approval. Repeat performances are a common occurrence, returning time and time again by request of not only the fans, but also the venues themselves.
Blending intricate guitar work, smooth vocal melodies and a groove, Justin offers up a rousing potpourri of new acoustic folk. Knowing that he stands on shoulders of those who came before him, he’s been compared to the likes of Michael Hedges, David Wilcox, Martin Sexton and Willy Porter. A fan once said that when Justin plays guitar, “it’s more than just an instrument but an extension of himself.” Seeing him perform, you see what they mean. Take an eye off him for a second, and you would swear that there were more instruments on stage.
As a self-taught fingerstyle guitarist, Justin’s inventive technique leaves people asking themselves ‘how’d he do that?’ as he expresses a new voice of the guitar.This voice is what creates his unique and engaging sound. His songwriting style is an artful mix ranging from insightful metaphors, to clever stories with a twisted sense of humor, to the familiar imagery of the world around us. From time to time, you'll also catch him accompanying himself or backing up other artists on percussion such as LJ Booth, Tom Prasada-Rao or Chris Cunningham.
