His music is an unmistakeable blend of folk, blues and roots.

Horne began his musical performances on the streets and has an incredible talent for multi-tasking using multiple instruments including foot percussion, harmonica and vocals to create an energetic sound that draws the crowds wherever his location.

The Justin Walshe Folk Machine mixes the best elements of folk, blue grass and Americana into a unique sound “filtered through the dead dry and arid WA sense of humour at the core of their work in a heaving acoustic storm of blue grass instruments spun around impeccable story telling”.
