Justin Echols: Romancing the Holidays
December 16, 2024 | 7:30 p.m.
It’ll be a night of holiday favorites with love in the air as jazz musician Justin Echols presents “Romancing The Holidays.” There are two stories we all love: One where the hero is more than he appears and one where the hero rises from the ashes in such glorious triumph, that he shames the tragedy that brought him there. The story of Justin Echols is both! After a traffic collision during the Second Gulf War left Justin with permanent injuries, the United States Army and Oklahoma City Police Veteran began playing jazz piano. Five international tours, a debut at Jazz at Lincoln Center: Dizzy’s Club in New York City, and his honorable mention in Forbes.com, made the 2012 Jazz Hall of Fame inductee infamous. In 2018, Justin’s mind-blowing story was nominated for an Emmy which documented a quick rise from soldier and police officer to an international performing artist. In January of 2020 Justin was granted the South Oklahoma City Chamber’s Native Son Award distinguishing him and his legendary accomplishments. In December 2021 Justin was presented The Oklahoma Hall of Fame, Lee Allen Smith Legacy Award. Justin’s life narrative, unique piano stylings and smooth vocals combine to create an intriguing performance.
