Trucking it up! Speed safely and God Bless!!
Let’s face it: authenticity is hard to come by in the information age. We catch ourselves in a
constant search for trustworthy and dependable, and when we find it, we know it. We are drawn to
it. This gravitational pull is how a small town country boy from Visalia, CA has become one of
country music’s most talked about independent artists, selling over 100,000 albums.
“We must be doing something right. It’s truly humbling, the thought that so many people are
supporting my music and my dreams. God continues to pour his blessings out daily and for that I
am very thankful.”
With unwavering support, Tony Justice has launched four albums in a span of less than six years.
The latest album, Stars, Stripes and White Lines, is just like Justice: All-American, respectful,
adventurous, and honors the lifestyle of the hard-working patriots he meets every day. You see,
unlike other country music artists, Tony is a full-time truck driver. This allows him to not only see
small town America on a daily basis, but also be a part of it.
“I’ve been blessed to be in a very unique position as an artist. Not only can my fans relate to my
music and to me, but I can relate to them…and so does my music. They understand I’m out here in
the trenches with my brothers and sisters most every day.” After all, who can write songs about a
life they don’t understand? This powerful connection forged through the music is deeper than
hearing a song on the radio: it’s pride. Pride for their jobs, pride for their lifestyles, and pride for
each other.
Now residing in East Tennessee where country music reigns and down-home living is a
requirement, Justice is able to make frequent trips to Nashville to perfect his craft. He’s written with
heroes like Kim Williams (Garth Brooks), whose last song ever written, “Praying the Dust Off My
Knees,” is featured on Stars, Stripes, and White Lines. He has recorded with Aaron Tippin and has
played shows with country greats like John Anderson and John Michael Montgomery. He’s been on
the cover of every major trucking industry magazine and has over 10 million video views on
YouTube. But, no matter how quick his fan base grows, Justice continues to fund and run his own
record label independently.
“Owning my own label allows me to share 100% of me in my music. I don’t have some guy in a suit
telling what to sing or not to sing. This allows my fans a chance to get to know the real me.”
This outlaw mentality is the same that his idols like Mr. Haggard, Mr. Cash, and Mr. Jennings
shared. Without conscious awareness, he embraces the best of what these men stood for:
destroying boundaries in a world full of limits.
Justice has spent his life busting down doors with sheer determination, grit, and a side of genuine
kindness. And every now and then, in between long hauls and playing shows, he makes sure to
take some time to appreciate what truly matters. On those days he can be found with his close nit
family around a watering hole or a dirt track: an ideal setting to uncover inspiration for his next hit.
