Hi! I’m an acoustic guitar playing singer from the Chicagoland area. I pride myself on having a versatile set list; country, pop throwbacks, classics, alternative, 80s, 2000s, today’s hits… truly just depends on the audience and what they are engaging with. Know how to work a crowd and get people having fun!

June 15, 2026Justine did a great job at our daughter's graduation party. She played for 3 hours, kept the mood up-beat and covered a lot of the kid's requests! Everyone commented on how good the live music was and how talented Justine is. Thank you Justine!

I am a solo acoustic guitar playing cover singer! I pride myself on having a versatile set list— songs everyone knows and can bob their heads along to. I create my set list as I go depending on what the audience is engaging with. I am a full believer that you can make any song acoustic. Yes, even Nickelback. You’ll find me flipping through Maroon 5, Taylor Swift, Thomas Rhett, Journey, Rihanna, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Coldplay, Stevie Nicks, Morgan Wallen… the list goes on! Sometimes I’ll throw in an original song as well!
Hi, I’m Justine! I’m a singer songwriter/cover singer from Hoffman Estates. Proud former band geek that doubled as a cheerleader! I taught myself how to play guitar in high school because I wanted to put my thoughts and poems to a melody. Songwriting has always been my passion and escape from reality.
When I got my first gig at a bar in my college town, I caught the performing bug! Getting to share what I love to do with a larger audience has been so much fun. So has been having an excuse to get my friends and family together as well— they have proven to be the most incredible support system showing up to every show.
Gigging around for 5 years now, I’ve played such a variety of venues and been a part of so many different events. Whether it’s a big stage or a small, intimate event, I’m so grateful for all the people I’ve met along the way.
All I need is an outlet! I have my own sound system!
Just an idea of my list! I adjust based on audience engagement!
