Isle of Justin

The creative force behind Marina Orchestra is frontman and songwriter, Justin Powers. With his unique ability to craft feel-good and uplifting music, Powers brings his vision to life both as a solo artist and through his band. As a solo performer, he effortlessly distills the essence of his songs—originally designed for a larger six- to ten-piece ensemble—into a more stripped-down, intimate experience. This solo set not only showcases his exceptional songwriting but also provides audiences with a raw and personal connection to his music, allowing each note and lyric to resonate deeply.

Justin Powers & the Marina Band bridges the gap between his solo work and the expansive arrangements of Marina Orchestra. With a tight, dynamic trio or quartet behind him, the Marina Band brings a fresh energy to the stage—retaining the same intimacy and emotional depth of his solo performances, but with the added vitality of a full-band experience. Whether performing solo or with the band, Powers captivates listeners, offering a blend of passionate storytelling, evocative melodies, and a sound that ranges from tender and reflective to bold and electrifying. Every live performance is a testament to his ability to connect with audiences on a deeply personal level, no matter the configuration of his ensemble.
