Justin Osborne is the lead singer, songwriter, and guitarist for the band SUSTO, who hail from Charleston, South Carolina. They’ve been around for over a decade, toured all over the world, and released five studio albums and two live albums. They’re currently on New West Records and Justin has a new album titled “Susto Stringband: Volume 1” coming out on March 28th that is a collaboration with Holler Choir Music and together they’ve reimagined and reinvented songs from across the SUSTO catalog (plus given us two new tracks!) with a more bluegrass, folk, string-centric spin. Make sure you follow SUSTO on Instagram, Spotify, Apple Music, and everywhere else so you can pre-save the album so you don't miss it when it drops!

You can find all things SUSTO at www.sustoisreal.com.
