Singer/Songwriter/Raconteur Justin Solonynka has performed his virtuosic blend of jazz-tinged rock and roll fusion throughout the Philadelphia and Lehigh Valley areas for over 25 years. While drawing inspiration from pianists such as Ben Folds, Billy Joel, Vince Guaraldi, Tori Amos, and even George Winston, Justin has carved out his own style of playing that feels utterly unique. Expect to hear oddball rock covers, upbeat originals, heartfelt instrumentals, interpretations of modern jazz tunes, and always some surprises. Dave Fry, founder of Godfrey Daniels, named Justin as "one of the bright lights to come on the music scene," and Bill George, founder of Touchstone Theatre, calls his work "intelligent, funny, acerbic, human, and ultimately uplifting."
