Justin’s songs drip of God and Grace and Girls and Guitars and Regret, with a seasoned Honky Tonk sound as authentic and genuine as his farm boy handshake.
The former oil field roughneck moved to Nashville in 2016 and has spent the last 7 years perfecting a live performance that is quickly becoming the talk of the town, as he continues to write songs that are raising the eyebrows of the music row underbelly.

A Honky Tonk King for the past 15 years, Justin Andrews plays the songs of yesterday with an infectious personality as rowdy as the dive bars he brings to life as he feels the music in a way that most don’t, and sings his songs in a way that most can’t.
