Justin Bell began playing for audiences at age 14, starting with open mic nights at the Acoustic Café in Winona, Minnesota. It was there, along the banks of the mighty Mississippi, that his songwriting skills were honed, as natural a progression as the course of the river itself. Hearing one of his songs for the first time, it's easy to latch on to one of his casual melodies and ride it like a raft, letting the tide take you wherever it pleases.
"I try to write songs that have multiple levels in them, so while the essential story of the song may be very specific to me, others can have interpretations that totally fit their experiences."
