Justin John Rutledge[1] (born January 3, 1979) is a Toronto-based Canadian alternative country singer-songwriter signed to Outside Music.
Rutledge's musical style is often compared to that of American alt-country singer Ryan Adams.[2][3][4]
In 2006, Justin Rutledge was named Toronto singer-songwriter of the year by NOW magazine.[5]
Rutledge has toured Canada, the UK, the United States, and Europe, and has played shows with Kathleen Edwards, Jim Cuddy, Blue Rodeo, Hawksley Workman, Luke Doucet, and Dolly Parton.[6]
His critically acclaimed lyrics are sometimes linked by music writers to his time as a university English major; he was editor-in-chief of a University of Toronto literary journal.[7]
