JUSTIN HEADWORTH & WAYNE WRIGHT
BACKWOODS RURAL ROUTE ROCK BAND

TWO WAYS TO EXPERIENCE THE MUSIC
JUSTIN HEADWORTH & WAYNE WRIGHT — ACOUSTIC COUNTRY DUO
Two guitars. Two voices. Endless possibilities.
Justin and Wayne deliver an engaging acoustic country experience that blends original music with the songs everybody knows and loves. From Brooks & Dunn and Waylon Jennings to the Bellamy Brothers and the biggest hits of ’90s country, their shows are packed with rich harmonies, spontaneous humor, storytelling, audience interaction, and plenty of sing-along favorites.
This isn’t background music. It’s a show built around connecting with the audience, reading the room, and making every performance feel personal.
Perfect for bars, breweries, resorts, private events, theaters, intimate concert settings, and anywhere people appreciate authentic country music.

Built for festivals, county fairs, casinos, theaters, outdoor concerts, corporate events, and larger venues looking for a country act that knows how to entertain.

That growing reach reflects a commitment to getting original country music heard while staying true to the sound and stories that started it all.
MORE THAN A CONCERT—IT’S A GOOD TIME
For Justin and Wayne, music has never been about standing on a stage and simply playing through a setlist.
It’s about connecting with people.
It’s about the couple celebrating an anniversary, the friends singing every word to a Brooks & Dunn classic, the guy at the bar requesting some old-school Waylon, and the entire crowd coming together for one more song.
Their shows combine the familiarity of country favorites with the excitement of discovering original music, delivered by musicians who genuinely enjoy what they do.
They’ll make you laugh. They’ll get you singing. They’ll tell you a story or two. And when it’s time to kick things into high gear, they’ll make sure the party is just getting started.
Whether it’s the acoustic duo or the full Backwoods Rural Route Rock Band, the mission is simple: give the audience a night worth remembering and the venue a reason to bring them back.
Because at the end of the day, it’s not about fancy lights, manufactured personalities, or pretending to be something you’re not.
It’s original songs, classic and ’90s country, guitars, harmonies, stories, bad decisions, good times—and one hell of a Saturday night.
