Justin Wells with Shawn Benfield

“[Justin] Wells has a gift for melody, and for encompassing the ways and means by which so many of us try to make ends meet in his lyrics.” – Rolling Stone

“There is no vessel, container, or recording device that can capture human struggle like a song can. Justin Wells proves this.” – Saving Country Music

“The songs Wells sang, pulled mostly from his debut solo album Dawn in the Distance, were deceptive.They may have been lighter in tone, but they crackled with a massive spirit, one that wore the trials and triumphs of band life like bloodied badges of honor.” – Kentucky.com
