Justin Rutledge (born 1978) is a Toronto-based alt-country singer-songwriter signed to Six Shooter Records.
His debut album, No Never Alone, was highly praised by UK music critics, prior to him developing a more widespread reputation in his native Canada.[1] His musical style is most often compared to that of American alt-country singer Ryan Adams.[1][2][3]
In 2006, he was named Toronto singer-songwriter of the year by NOW magazine.[4]
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.[1]
