Justin Roth is a nationally touring singer/songwriter/acoustic guitarist who combines an artful blend of hooks laid on a bed of brilliantly inventive guitar technique for a new mix of indie folk.  He has toured with John Gorka and opened for some of the finest singer/songwriters, including Shawn Colvin, Martin Sexton, and David Wilcox.  His guitar playing has earned him shared stages with some of the greatest fingerstyle players of today, such as Andy McKee and Pat Donohue.  "Fans of Leo Kottke or Michael Hedges will find themselves right at home with [Roth's] intricate guitar work...beautifully written lyrics."  - San Francisco Art Magazine

Roth's fourth solo album, Now You Know (Release Date - 5/17/11 - stay tuned for updates), which he recorded, produced, played and sang every single note himself, marks his most expansive and personal work to date.  Now You Know paints a journey of loss, hope, forgiveness and redemption with the intimacy of a home recording, but with subtle, textured arrangements and layered vocals (ala Bon Iver), all hung tastefully around his alternately tuned and fingerpicked guitar.  "Justin Roth plays & sings with amazing precision & emotional dexterity on, "Now You Know."   This CD is eclipsed only by his great live shows." - Willy Porter, singer/songwriter/guitarist
