Biography
Justin Karpinos is a 27 year-old singer/songwriter currently based in Nashville, Tennessee. Justin is an established sideman and contributes guitar, mandolin, and vocals for several area artists and bands.
Flyover, Justin’s debut album, was recorded and mixed in both Nashville, TN with producer Marc Lacuesta (recording credits include Allison Krauss, Neil Young, Sara Evans, and Jars of Clay), and in Greensboro, NC with producer Mike Garrigan (founder of the critically-acclaimed band Collapsis).
Flyover features tightly-crafted songs that emphasize his melodic sensibilities, compelling lyrics, and tasteful guitar work. Justin’s clear, strong voice is reminiscent of James Taylor and Paul Simon. The arrangements and instrumentation explore more modern pop/rock styles, similar to Gavin Degraw and Jump, Little Children.
The record has garnered attention and praise from, most notably, Grammy Award-winning songwriter Marcus Hummon.
