Justine Lucas

ARTIST BIO

Justine Lucas is prolific and locally renown singer-songwriter based in the San Francisco Bay Area. With a voice described as "softly haunting" by SF Deli Magazine and music that sounds like "a folky Appalachian holiday" according to the SF Bay Guardian, Justine's profoundly poetic songs and delicately nuanced vocal tones carry character and story throughout every album, film, and concert.

Justine is also a multi-instrumentalist, playing guitar, mandolin, piano, bass, and violin on many of her own tracks, and guest-starring with local bands such as Fanfare Zambaleta and Wyld Iris. Her music alternates between bluegrass, folk, country, jazz, blues, swing, and gypsy jazz. With a degree in World Music and Dance, her influences are vast, international, and multigenerational. Justine's eclectic style has also been inspired by her years of touring with circuses throughout the US and Canada, and meetings with remarkable musicians and circus performers from all over the world. She is most well-known for her time as the lead singer of The Jaunting Martyrs, her collaborations with Jordan Finlay and Lee Corbie-Wells, and as Madame Z in her Jazz Cabaret and Big Band, lead with co-composer Jonah Udall.
