If Nick Justice’s career has found him lurking below the radar, it’s only because he’s the one that initially put the brakes on. Weaned on the Southern California sound — as represented by the Eagles, Crosby, Stills and Nash and Jackson Browne — he was lured to the Golden State in the late ‘80s and became a journeyman troubador of sorts — busking, paying his dues in various itinerate ensembles and playing for whoever would listen. Eventually he worked his way up to the status of an opening act, serving a support role to number of important outfits — X, the Blasters, the Radiators, INXS, the Del Fuegos and other ‘80s and ‘90s scene-setters.
