“The Kent County Youth Fair Performing Arts Department had the pleasure of utilizing Justin as our accompanist for the 2019 Fair. Justin is well organized and has great communication skills.  He was professional, patient, and kind in every interaction. The kids he worked with felt confident in their performances largely due to the fact that Justin took his time with each performer. We could not have asked for a better experience.”

“Justin Colwell was a musical gem for our wedding ceremony, performing songs we’d chosen for our special day. Two of these were hymns, which he led everyone in singing. One was a special song for which he accompanied our solo vocalist. His communication was always clear, timely, and professional. We’d highly recommend working with Justin!”
