Justin Trawick: The Blog

My name is Justin Trawick and I write songs and play them for people. When I'm not writing songs (and playing them for people) I'm riding my longboard, checking out concerts, or eating fried chicken (I love fried chicken...it's amazing...I literally have Harris Teeter on speed dial). Thanks for visiting and enjoy your time here learning about my life. Stayed tuned for frequent updates and lots of cell phone pictures. I hope to see or hear from you soon... ~j~ Visit justintrawick.com for show updates & more.

This is Aaron Malone, our fiddle player who had been playing with us since this past summer. Aaron is amazing plus he’s a really swell guy. And look at that vest shirt combo! We will be announcing lots of shows coming up soon so don’t forget to mark your calendars and come introduce yourself to the newest member of the band.

I haven’t seen Heather Hannah in years and years, I guess since the last time my band played at the Purple Fiddle in Thomas, VA many moons ago. Man she sounds great tonight. @just_heatherly @bchordbrewing —— #whatilearnedtoday #photograph #photography #tourlife #202creates #photooftheday #storiesfromtheroad #portraits #portraitsofinstagram #musicianlife #iphonephotography #portraitart #music #concert #live #picoftheday #guitar #americana #band #singer #concertphotography #musician #instamusic #love #musicphotography #dcmusic #lifeontheroad #heatherhannah #the9songwriterseries (at B Chord Brewing Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuAShkUBWBa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2exaip9sbojc

Last week Louisa Hall and I had Eli Staples in the studio to lay down piano parts for our upcoming single “Train Station”. It’s really beginning to take shape. Can’t wait for you all to hear it. —— #whatilearnedtoday #photograph #photography #tourlife #202creates #photooftheday #storiesfromtheroad #portraits #portraitsofinstagram #musicianlife #iphonephotography #portraitart #music #concert #live #picoftheday #piano #americana #band #singer #concertphotography #musician #instamusic #love #musicphotography #dcmusic #lifeontheroad #studiomusician #trainstation (at Sucker Punch Recording Co.) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt_WcQ4BK3L/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kr1b2abkzcwj

Tonight we played in Richmond VA at Hardywood. Before the show started, this little boy somehow got onto the VERY large stage and made it to Jacob our drummer. He was enamored with Jacob’s percussion equipment and not only wanted to play but totally refused to leave. He was hilarious. He mom eventually had to come on stage and tear him away from Jacob and his snare drum. @jacob_briggs @hardywood —— #whatilearnedtoday #photograph #photography #tourlife #202creates #photooftheday #storiesfromtheroad #portraits #portraitsofinstagram #musicianlife #iphonephotography #portraitart #music #concert #live #picoftheday #guitar #americana #band #singer #concertphotography #musician #instamusic #love #musicphotography #dcmusic #lifeontheroad #hardywood #richmondva (at Hardywood West Creek) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt-G1Tvh9Nv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1427w6clsvd84

Thanks to everyone who came out to see my solo show last night here in DC. It was a special show for me as I hadn’t done a solo ticketed performance here at home in a long time. It turned out better than expected and I can’t wait to do it again. Here’s my set list from last night. —— #whatilearnedtoday #photograph #photography #tourlife #202creates #photooftheday #storiesfromtheroad #portraits #portraitsofinstagram #musicianlife #iphonephotography #portraitart #music #concert #live #picoftheday #guitar #americana #band #singer #concertphotography #musician #instamusic #love #musicphotography #dcmusic #lifeontheroad #setlist #thankyou (at DC9 Nightclub) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt3ZKn2hzek/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11bor7frturxo

We are in the green room at DC9 getting ready for our show tonight. We saw this mirror.

Louisa thought it would be good to do an impression of this painting. “Justin, take my picture”. “Ok”. —— #whatilearnedtoday #photograph #photography #tourlife #202creates #photooftheday #justintrawick #justintrawickandthecommongood #storiesfromtheroad #portraits #portraitsofinstagram #musicianlife #iphonephotography #portraitart #music #concert #live #picoftheday #guitar #americana #band #singer #concertphotography #musician #instamusic #love #musicphotography #dcmusic #lifeontheroad (at DC9 Nightclub) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt1_rZuhGWD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1899n4s1me0kk

This is Judah. Every year Judah and his wife Carla have a “Lunar New Year Party”, celebrating the Chinese New Year. They go all out and cook a ton of pan-asian food and invite fifty of their best friends over to come eat and drink sake. What a great time. I’m already looking at the calendar ready for next year. —— #lunarnewyear #chinesenewyear #yearofthepig #friedrice #foodie #foodphotography #goodfriendsgoodtimes #kitchensofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BtxGk5GBKge/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xwklfv8w39ym
