Justin Trawick and the Common Good

Justin Trawick has been performing in the Washington, DC, area and along the East Coast since 2006, citing musical influences like Bob Schneider, Greensky Bluegrass, The Tallest Man on Earth, G. Love, Old Crow Medicine Show, and David Gray.

His debut record with The Common Good, “The Riverwash EP”, exemplifies the raw, emotional, live sound Trawick and the band have cultivated over the years playing in clubs and festivals. With instrumentation consisting of acoustic guitar, upright bass, fiddle, mandolin, and pedal steel, the band’s live performance plays fast and loose with the “Americana” genre, performing heartfelt ballads followed by raucous bluegrass melodies tinged with moments of hip hop verses.

Trawick and the band have performed for the Kingman Island Bluegrass Festival and the Appaloosa Roots Music Festival, and have opened for over 30 national acts including Blues Traveler, Suzanne Vega, and Wyclef Jean, while sharing bills with Dr. Dogg and The Avett Brothers.
