Justin Standley
Artist: Justin Standley
Track: Jensen’s Swamp
Album: Brave Face

Jensen’s Swamp is the fourth single to be released from Justin Standley’s highly acclaimed album, Brave Face. Produced by multi-Aria and Golden Guitar producer, Matt Fell, this song is a rocking good country track that has already proven extremely popular at all of Justin’s live performances.

“People have bought the album just because they love this song,” says Justin. “I used to live a few kilometres up the road from Jensen's Swamp in rural Queensland. My brother, Larry, was born with severe physical and cognitive disabilities and I used to regularly take him there. He loved it. He was thoroughly convinced that all the animals would come out for a big shindig on the full moon. So I wrote this song for him. Sadly, he passed away, but every time I sing this song it feels like he’s right there with me having a boogie on stage.”

Justin shot to prominence after appearing as a finalist on the X Factor on a quest to find his missing children. The heart-wrenching reunion with his daughters made national headlines and he subsequently established himself as one of Australia’s most loved and successful independent country music artists.

Justin is the only artist to have ever equalled Slim Dusty’s record of having three songs in the top five at one time. He is recognised for his distinctive voice and impressive four octave vocal range, friendly nature and talent for entertaining, song-writing, yodelling, story-telling, comedy, and Indigenous songs.
