"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
"One of the best singer/songwriter/guitarists I've heard in ages...Justin Roth is a flat out talent. Roth rivals a young Willy Porter...His vocal delivery is smooth. His guitar playing is extraordinary." - The Journal Times, Racine, WI
hey Justin, hope you're having a hell of a time at Kerrville! and just in case you'll be back in the Twin Cities tomorrow night (doubtful), I'm playing at the Gingko in St. Paul and it'd be cool to meet up with you. take care,
Justino! Just watched you in your hot white button down playing that hot sad song about a horse and a disease and what's this about Hawaii. I'm with Mel on this one. What the kluck! That is capital A wesome. Miss you. Sorry I've been out of your glorious loop.
May I just say... I have been a fan of yours for a while and I just missed your show here due to circumstances beyond my control... but your music is exceptional. Truly talented. I hope to meet sometime and tell you in person. Blessings to you. Oh, and by the way... I sooooo wish I was going to HAWAII!!!!!! Enjoy! C

Good day, How're things? I'm working as a scientist out in California now, near abouts to the S.F. Bay area. If you come out here, I'll do my dance. Also, I recently found have the original choreography, and I plan on having it laminated, as it's in rough shape. Well, I hope you're doin' great. Have a good summer!
