Justin Little has been writing songs since he was a teenager in Sisters High School's Americana Project. His latest album, 42, which he debuted at the Lazy Z in January, gathers more than twenty years of that writing into one place. These are songs about the tender, complicated work of being a person: parenting and the ache of knowing when to let a child fly, the inner child who's still holding it all, the slow trade of self-shame for self-compassion, and the search for a light that burns brighter than our mistakes. By day Justin is a family therapist, and it shows. The songs sit honestly with pain and refuse to leave anyone alone in it. You'll catch the fingerprints of Nickel Creek, Ben Harper, Amos Lee and Sufjan Stevens in the mix, but the voice is unmistakably his own.

For this show he'll be joined by violinist Taylor Rheault, whose playing gives the songs room to breathe. Stripped back to voice, guitar, and violin, it's an intimate evening, offered up close in the community where it all began.
