Come celebrate the release of Justin’s new EP, “Temporary Cities”! Taking place in the 2nd room at The Hotel Cafe, this will be an intimate acoustic set.
Born and raised in Kansas City, KS, and now calling Los Angeles home, singer/songwriter Justin Hulsey crafts emotionally charged music that explores life’s complexities with raw honesty. His journey as an artist has taken him through the creative cities of both Nashville, TN, and the vibrant Los Angeles music scene, experiences that have shaped his unique sound.
With a voice that balances fragility and strength, Hulsey writes songs that evoke both heartache and healing. His lyricism is deeply introspective, exploring themes of love and loss, to fatherhood, social justice and the pursuit of meaning in a world often full of uncertainty.
Drawing influences from a range of artists, from the atmospheric depth of Radiohead to the soulful melodies of Jackson Browne, Hulsey blends elements of alternative rock, indie, and folk into his own style. His music is anchored by poignant lyrics that reflect the melancholic yet hopeful undertones of his experiences. Bands like Elbow and Doves have also left their mark on his music, guiding his expansive soundscapes and emotionally charged compositions.
Hulsey has had the opportunity of touring internationally, with multiple successful tours across The Netherlands and England. The experience of reaching listeners across the ocean has had a profound influence on his artistry, and he’s eager to be back to connect with new audiences.
With five full-length albums and numerous EPs under his belt, Hulsey has built quite a catalog. Each release carries a distinct chapter of his life. As he continues to write, perform, and travel, Justin Hulsey is poised to captivate a growing audience, offering an authentic and unique voice in the ever-evolving music landscape.
