Justin Garner

Singer, songwriter, and scholar; non-traditional attributes rarely coupled in the music industry as by-products of the consummate triple threat artist. Justin Garner is just that, yet he is traditional in all aspects of his personal background, his academic endeavors, and stumbling of a story into writing and recording. Enter the journey of gentleman from a small town rarely mentioned in Louisianan history, Plaquemine! Justin hails from a town with a population of under eight thousand where everyone knows each other. Plaquemine, the very town where his late father, a musician was murdered and the alleged suspect has lived just around the corner for over 21 years, and has never been implicated by eyewitnesses nor brought to justice. At the age of 11 Justin discovered he had garnered the gift of music one Christmas season after wowing his mom with his self-taught rendition of ‘Silent Night’, which led to his first live performance at church.
