A statuesque 5-foot-10 twenty something blond and former model, Justine Blazer is impossible to overlook – or ignore. Her incredible talent is searing into the heart of the country music world with her powerhouse five-octave voice. Infusing her vivacious country sound with the brawny rock ‘n’ roll and silvery soul of her Motor City roots, the national recording artist whose single and video “Red, White and Blue” has become an anthem for our servicemen overseas is expanding her enthusiastic fan base with every original song. Along with singing, songwriting, producing and performing, she also plays the acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and the harmonica. This 15-time Detroit Music Awards nominee plays around 200 live dates a year headlining shows across the county and even sharing the same stage of artists such as Lonestar, Terri Clark, Kathy Mattea, Jason Aldean, The Miracles and even Regis Philbin.
