The Crowd Goes Wild Thanks to Justin Nordan

The self-described "Music executive guy" has been responsible for bringing some great talent to perform in Sacramento. Justin has also offered unique opportunities to so many local musicians to perform at festivals like Concerts in the Park, Sol Blume or Launch. Justin's passion for music puts talent on the stage and we chat about it all.
