“popVLTR: You're known for your live shows, what's it like performing on stage? JJB: The energy of the audience takes me to a different place, where I'm at peace. I see the music as bright colors and I truly feel alive. It's like when I'm on stage everything's right with the world and I know why I was put here.”

— Pop Vulture Magazine

“JJB's distinctive picking style and fret work are reminiscent of earlier times in American music. ”

— Pop Vulture Magazine

“Justin’s performance was magical. He was brought up in his wheelchair to an empty chair awaiting him. With his arm in a sling he was handed his guitar and clumsy held it and addressed the audience. All band members are people he meet at camp, drawn to his gentle spirit and infectious musical talent. Justin mentions that the large band is needed to fill the void he cannot fill on stage due to his disability. While a little life was breathed back into Justin through this performance, a morale booster for sure, I cannot help but reflect on all that the police took from him, and us, during that eviction.”

— Sarah Gallegos, Portland Occupier

“It will mean a lot to all of us as the OMMP Grower/Patient/CareGiver system voted for by the people of this State and approved by the Oregon Legislature is being attacked by the very people who should be protecting it. Rally for Medical Marijuana this Sunday June 26th in Portland Pioneer Courthouse Square. 3:00 P.M. to 6:30 P.M. There will be live music by Justin James Bridges”

“Oregon Green Free (OGF) is proud to announce the 7th annual Oregon CareGrowers Cup. "The cup" is a state-wide medical cannabis cultivation contest in which some of Oregon's most caring and skilled growers donate roughly two ounces of their best grown medicine to be tested, criticized and documented. Ninety judges will be smelling, squeezing, vaporizing, and documenting the affects of each entrant's cannabis. Judges must be registered cardholders in the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program (OMMP). The winners of the cup will be announced April 30th at a banquet style party for OMMP cardholders at Club Paesano in Gresham. The party will include live music, door prizes, educational information, vendors, and a famous delicious feast offered up by an amazing core staff of volunteers. Bands include Rayllway, Justin James Bridges, a live DJ and there is rumored to be some live art to watch as the music plays.”
