Soulful Reckoning

Ever wondered how a band can bridge the gap between rock and roll energy and old-time Appalachian soul?

Justin Osborne, the driving force behind Susto, is doing just that. But there's a twist – a journey of self-discovery, a departure from the familiar, and a dive into the heart of Americana.

His story is one of transformation and a constant search for meaning.

From a background steeped in religion to finding a new spiritual connection through music, his path is both compelling and deeply human.

It's about navigating the complexities of faith, the pain of soul-searching, and the joy of finding your voice in a new community.

This interview peels back the layers of an artist who isn't afraid to explore his past while forging a new sound.
