Justin Walden is from Athens, Tennessee, just south of Knoxville. The singer-songwriter recently released his patriotic single, “Man I Wanna Be,” a tribute to late great-grandfather. He also plays fiddle, banjo, guitar, mandolin, and piano. He grew up playing Bluegrass/Country music in East Tennessee and the surrounding areas.

Some of his influences are Bill Monroe, whose high lonesome sound paved the road to modern Bluegrass and the contemporary sounds of today's Country music scene, like Brothers Osborne, Big and Rich, and newer artists like Blake Shelton, Chris Young, Dierks Bentley. Some of Justin's primary influences are the Del McCoury Band, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, Ricky Skaggs, Bobby Hicks, and many other notable artists.

At eight years old, Justin sat across from his dad Darrell in the church choir, playing acoustic guitar. After expressing an interest in learning mandolin he was hired in his dad's band, Crystal Road. The band would go to form a trio with Justin on the stringed instruments and lead and baritone vocals, Darrell on guitar and lead and baritone vocals, and Sandra on bass guitar and soprano. Crystal Road eventually became known in East Tennessee as the Crystal Road Band. He toured East Tennessee and the Southeast performing around 150 plus shows per year.
