JUSTIN ROCK

**WAVE STAGES (14th full length album) - COMING SOON**

With thirteen original albums and an ongoing slew of live performances, Rock is steadily proving to be one of our times great multifaceted and prolific artists. Whatever the style, and whatever the setting, his sound always manages to find a complimentary place in the music and consistently brings forth an honest and expressive energy. In addition to performance and teaching, Justin also composes for commercials and film. 

Born into a musical household, Justin's exposure began at a young age. He recollects hearing all kinds of music, from classical symphonies to jazz standards to folk songs and everything in between. These influences led to many early childhood instrumental experiences. Starting with the piano, followed by the trumpet, Justin eventually found his way to the guitar, the instrument that would go on to influence him the most.

Justin now resides in the San Francisco Bay Area where he continues to teach (SFJAZZ, Stanford Jazz Workshop and outreach programs, private lessons), compose original music and commercials for Kraft, Contigo, Jockey, Con Agra, Keurig, and more), and perform (David Binney, Roy Hargrove, Allison Miller, Rufus Reid, Stacy Dillard, Jacam Manricks, Dillon Vado's "Never Weather", Logan Kane's "Open Eyes", LOUIZA, Steven Lugerner and The Sluggish Ensemble, Stumble Day, Bastet, and many others). Keep a lookout for new music and tour dates in 2026!
