After paying his dues performing live, night after night, on St. John’s vibrantly popular George Street pub scene, country recording artist Justin Fancy, from nearby Conception Bay South, Newfoundland, is preparing to take his rightful place on the national stage with the release of his debut album, Sure Beats A Good Time. With these seven brand new songs, Fancy is determined to prove he’s no one-trick pony. He masterfully combines classic country songwriting influenced by artists at the forefront of the country scene from the 1970s to early 1990s with his own take on today’s country sound.
From Merle Haggard and George Jones to Alan Jackson, Vince Gill, and Travis Tritt, he gravitated towards iconic artists who had a talent for telling great stories through their lyrics. The notion of someone relating to or seeing themselves in his songs was too powerful to steer him in any other direction. ~ Justin Fancy
