Jared Justen at Underground Music Cafe

The performance will begin at 6 pm and will be followed by Comedy Open Mic at 7:30.

Jared Justen is originally from the Rogers/Maple Grove area and currently resides in Mound. He has been playing guitar for over 10 years and writing songs for about 9 years. Justen cites Jose Gonzalez as an important influence because of his deceptively simple take on guitar-focused acoustic songwriting. Justen's own introverted nature is also a major influence on the honesty and creativity of his music.

In his second album, Wolves Teeth, Jared refines his simple, yet complex songwriting technique while exploring the personal vulnerabilities and frustrations of early adulthood. Fans of Mariusz Duda, Riverside, Anathema, and Jose Gonzalez will embrace this distinctive guitar-oriented indie-folk-pop sound.
