JUSTIN MCROBERTS
Wants to start a conversation. Yes, he’s a talented songwriter and successful indie musician and yes, he does have a new album, “Grace Must Wound.” But all of that is just the overflow of his passion as a communicator. Justin has things to say with or without a guitar, and you get the impression that it would be difficult for him to live without speaking of those things. If he wasn’t making music he’d still be reaching and stirring people with his timely message about God and life..." Justin’s latest offering ‘Grace Must Wound’, is filled with with Pop Rock that anyone can appreciate and lyrics that redeem some of the better points of Christianity. He isn’t afraid to write about heartbreak and challenge alike. *The album’s title is part of a Flannery O’Connor quote that reads, in full; “Grace must wound before it heals.”

Special Guest: MEG FARVOUR -A combination of acoustic rock/rhythm & blues.
