"True/False: On stage, on screen"

Justin Theodore Young, a singer-songwriter from Brooklyn who performs under the name Wine Teeth, will be playing at True/False for the second time.

“It was an amazing experience, and I knew that I wanted to play the festival again,” he says. “I love the way the entire area becomes about film and music.”

Wine Teeth will be playing five different time slots, including three at Ragtag, one at Flat Branch Park and another at the Globe Theater. He describes himself as “an indie-folk singer from the south with strong influences in roots, rockabilly, old country and Appalachian music.”

Young loves the way True/False has combined film and music.

“Music becomes a character in some films," he says. "It often sets the mood and tone, builds excitement, evokes emotion. I think what True/False is doing with the marriage of the two mediums of art is brilliant.” - MOVE Magazine

Bio

Wine Teeth is the brainchild of Justin Theodore Young, a singer-songwriter from the South who combines roots, rockabilly and honkytonk rhythms with an indie folk storytelling sensibility. His unique vocal style and literate lyrics have built him a following in cities throughout the U.S., from Brooklyn, NYC to Portland, Oregon. Justin has fronted many popular touring indie bands whilst playing his own original music as a solo artist. From the experimental post hardcore band Wickersham to the alt-country tunes of The Cheated Hearts, and the rockabilly band T-Bucket Terrors, his songs have always built a loyal following amongst friends and fans alike.

Together with Brooklyn-based violinist Andrew Williams, flautist/banjo player Maggie Ciardi-Russell, and percussionist Mike Ciardi, Wine Teeth combine old-timey country, folk, rockabilly, and indie rock that is almost like Buddy Holly meets Elliott Smith, with a twist of The Band.
