  • Laurence Baer - Songwriter / CD Producer
  • Laurence Baer's song “White Pass Railroad” was included in the Del McCoury Band’s Grammy-Nominated “Family Circle” CD.
  • Justin’s voice has been frequently compared to that of the late great Jim Croce. A talented songwriter in his own right, Justin has been lately turning heads in Nashville. For the sake of clarity and ease of listening – all the harmonies are also sung by Justin. The result is a smooth and rich vocal which captures the spirit and heart of each song, making listening a pleasure rather than a task.
  • “Across Time” grew out of the friendship and collaboration between Laurence Baer and the internationally acclaimed guitar duo Loren and Mark. Loren Barrigar was the youngest instrumentalist ever to play on the stages of the Grand Ole Opry (in 1968 when he was 6 years old) and he went on to study with Chet Atkins’ brother, Jimmy Atkins. Mark Mazengarb is an extremely versatile and brilliant guitarist from New Zealand, equally comfortable in classical, jazz, folk, and bluegrass styles. They won the 2013 International Acoustic Music Competition for instrumentalists. They are regular headliners at the Chet Atkins Fest in Nashville. They recently toured with the great Tommy Emmanuel.
