Details:
Paul Justin was born in Hawthorne, Nevada, a small desert town near the California border. He first plucked a guitar string when he was four years old and living in Sterling, Colorado on a farm that his family rented for helping feed the cows. His parents listened to a lot of country, folk, and rock. Paul's first influences were The Steve Miller Band, The Beatles, Johnny Cash, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and Gordon Lightfoot. In 1978 his family settled back in Hawthorne, where Paul started playing bass. At 14 he was playing with his two brothers and a cousin in a rock band, and took second place in a local talent show. Paul continued playing in bands until 1996 when he gave up music for love.

Unfortunately, that didn't last, but his experience helped 2002 mark his first country effort with the song, "Aurora", a fictional story in the 1860's of revenge in a rowdy Nevada mining town. At the beginning of 2005, Paul made a promise to himself that heâd be playing music at local bars and honkey tonks. In June he debuted at Cookâs Corner in Trabuco Canyon and started a journey that has landed him with some of the coolest musicians and friends in Southern California.

Paul recently said:

âMy favorite thing to do is get up on stage. Thereâs something about the energy you get from people, even if itâs only two or three of them. If I can make two or three people enjoy their night out, Iâm doing everything right. I love what Iâm doing and it shows every time I play.â

Paul Justin's down to earth, heart-felt lyrics and singing are a testament to everyday life in rural America.
