Justin Lee Harris & Taylor Lansdale

About this event

Justin Lee Harris writes songs like sermons from the edge.

Raised in the small eastern Kentucky town of Topmost, Harris pairs atmospheric alternative rock and cinematic soundscapes with emotionally direct songwriting. His songs explore faith, loss, aging, identity, and the struggle to stay human in a fractured world.

With a voice that's worn-in but wide open, Harris brings a weathered baritone to songs that move between quiet introspection and cathartic release. Whether he's wrestling with belief ("Between Judas and Jesus"), letting go ("Lie to Me"), or confronting the passage of time ("Getting Older"), his music speaks to those who feel deeply but still show up.

Now based in West Liberty, Kentucky, Harris continues to write, record, release, and perform original music, carving out his own place in the alternative landscape from an unlikely corner of the state.
