Justin Sullivan grew up in Fairview outside Nashville, Tennessee. He comes from a musical family; in fact, his mother and her sisters performed years ago on the Junior Grand Ole Opry. While in junior high, Justin became involved with Southern Gospel music and has sung in several groups.
Justin and his wife Janet were in the Bahamas years ago and went into a Kenny Rogers’ Roasters restaurant in Nassau. His wife noticed that people there had stopped what they were doing and stared. When Janet looked around the restaurant, she saw a photo of Kenny Rogers and realized why the customers were looking at Justin so strangely, On a 70s Flower Power cruise, he was asked to perform a Kenny Rogers number to an afternoon audience when it was discovered he could sing. Over the years, people continue to stop Justin and ask for his autograph or to take a photo with him.
Justin was contacted by Adam Michaels from Hollywood’s Avenue of the Stars who saw him perform on a Christmas show hosted by the Daystar program “In Your Corner”. Adam remarked that he had been looking for Justin for months since he has an uncanny resemblance to Kenny Rogers. Justin has prepared a show with some of the best musicians Nashville has to offer, three of the band members have performed with country music legends and toured with Grand Ole Opry members.
