Country music artist Justin Billotte to perform in central Ohio

Lariat Records announced today that country music artist Justin Billotte will be performing select shows in support of his upcoming album release “Just Getting Started”.

Producer Rob Lavender says the album contains a variety of song styles and the decision to go all acoustic was the desire for a clean uncluttered sound to better present Justin’s vocals. The all acoustic country album is a well rounded presentation that contains two songs written by Justin Billotte himself including the title track “Just Getting Started”. In this album Justin shows that he can adeptly ride the fence line between old school country music traditions and new country styling. A 3rd quarter release date is expected for the album.

Justin Billotte is a young neo-traditionalist country artist from Ohio. His new album may be all acoustic, however his show is not. The acoustic material he does perform is outstanding, but the bulk of his show has a very contemporary country sound. With a an all new band featuring two lead guitarists fans can expect to hear something a bit different and exciting. The new show includes a wide range of country songs and some great ballads. Justin Billotte will kick off his new tour with several shows in central Ohio, not far from where he grew up.

Dates announced so far include:
July 29, 6:30 PM Pickerington Violet Festival - Pickerington, Ohio with Hotel California
Aug 5th, Tavern 42 - Delaware Ohio Aug 19th, 7:00 PM Newark Concert In The Park - Newark Ohio
Sept 23, Jackson Apple Festival - Jackson Ohio, with Trent Tomlinson
Sept 30, Peddler's Lounge - Grove City, Ohio

Acoustic shows include:
July 7th 7:00 PM at Hoggy's Live - New Albany, Ohio.
July 16th, 7:00 PM at The Mustard Seed Café - West Jefferson Ohio.
