August 24, 2025I hired Justin to play background classical music during a life celebration event in honor of my late mother inside her home. Justin showed up on time and was very flexible on how to set up with regards to the ceremony and space. He also had the foresight to bring a small amplifier in case the crowd noise inside the venue became too high. With a larger than expected crowd, Justin's use of the very tiny amplifier was perfect. And so was the selection of music that he chose to play. I highly recommend Justin. Beautiful music and very professional as well as pleasant to work with.

Justin Lacy has been composing, teaching and performing music in and around Wilmington, NC since 2007, when he enrolled at the University of North Carolina Wilmington to study jazz guitar.
Lacy graduated with a BA in Music and English in 2011. In 2012, he released his debut full-length album, “Overgrown,” a collection of original songs performed by the Swimming Machine, a nine-piece band utilizing horns, strings, big drums and layered vocals to bring orchestral elements and a hip-hop sensibility to Lacy’s songwriting.
In 2014, Lacy completed his first film score for "Anhedonia," an 18-minute short film starring Traci Dinwiddie (The Notebook, Mr. Brooks).
In addition to performing frequently at weddings and events as a solo guitarist/ukulele player, Lacy performs in several ensembles, including Daisy, a swing band specializing in jazz standards from the '20s - '40s. Lacy is also a dedicated music teacher, offering guitar and ukulele lessons in Wilmington, Porter's Neck and Hampstead.
Lacy is currently in the midst of writing his second full-length studio album.
