 JAVA NOTES Concert Series is proud to present Justin Roth in concert.

AFTER 12:00 P.M. ON FEB 9TH - TICKETS ONLY AVAILABLE AT THE DOOR.

Blending intricate guitar work, smooth vocal melodies and a groove, Justin Roth 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.

"Fans of Leo Kottke or Michael Hedges will find themselves right at home
with the intricate guitar work...beautifully written lyrics."
-  San Francisco Art Magazine

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.
