Musician

Saxophonist, bandleader, and educator Justin Pierce grew up in Southeast Texas, in the Gulf Coast corridor where Louisiana’s music doesn’t stop at the state line. He and vocalist Ashley Pierce began performing together as students at McNeese State University in Lake Charles, beginning a musical partnership now in its third decade. In 2010, they toured Romania with the McNeese Jazz Band under saxophonist Rick Condit, a veteran of the Stan Kenton Orchestra.

Pierce earned his doctorate in saxophone performance at the University of North Texas, where he performed with the One O’Clock Lab Band and studied with saxophonist Brad Leali, former lead altoist with the Count Basie Orchestra. He has taught jazz at the university level for more than a decade.
