There is also no doubt Justin Hewitt is grateful for how his father inspired him to fill his heart with song again.
As Justin Hewitt begins strumming “All You Need Is Love” on his guitar, he remembers fondly how he and his dad would sing along to Beatles songs in the car together.
“It was something we shared in common,” Justin says. “Our love of music.”
It’s an enduring love that led Justin to pursue music professionally.
“Dad said to me, ‘Just sing,’” Justin recalls. “Just do it because it fills your heart.”
Justin eventually discovered that his original songs could also fill two independent albums, which led to filling venues with appreciative fans.
But after a decade of baring his soul, performing in local bars, Justin was burning out.
“Clearly we needed a break from each other,” Justin laughs.
