ABOUT NILES CITY:
Niles City, three miles north of the business center of Fort Worth in central Tarrant County, was incorporated in February 1911. The town was called “the richest little city in the state of Texas” because of the high value of several corporations within its boundaries. It was named in honor of Louville Veranus Niles of Boston, Massachusetts, a large stockholder in the Fort Worth Stock Yards Company; Niles was given credit for the fact that the Swift and Armour packing companies located their plants in the vicinity. The Fort Worth Stockyards, including the Live Stock Exchange Building and the packing plants, all located within the Niles City corporate limits, were valued at over $12 million in 1911. Because of these historic facts, the band decided on the name to reflect a wealth of musical richness and diversity and to commemorate an area in Texas steeped in country music tradition.

Justin was born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas. He grew up listening to a wide variety of musical genres that spanned multiple generations. From George Strait, Hank Jr., Travis Tritt and Garth Brooks, to the Eagles, James Taylor, Jim Croce and Billy Joel, Justin listened and sang along to whatever was on the radio. At the age of 7, his mom took him to a pawn shop to buy his first guitar. However, it wasn’t until much later that he decided he should take his talents and musical abilities to the stage.
Justin served five years in the United States Navy as a K9 police officer, and after completing his honorable service, he came back to Texas to earn his bachelor’s degree from the University of North Texas and a master’s degree from the University of Texas at Arlington. He served the City of Arlington, Texas as a police officer for six years, and left the police department in 2012 to start a real estate company with his wife. In 2020, Justin and Theresa merged their real estate brokerage with Magnolia Realty, Chip and Joanna Gaines’ company out of Waco.
Shortly after starting their real estate business, Justin got the itch to start playing guitar and singing. Within 6 months, he started a band, and just a few months later, they were playing local gigs and private events.
Justin’s first EP was officially released in July 2015 and his second EP was released in June 2016. Justin’s third EP was released in late 2019. Justin receives radio airplay throughout Texas and the surrounding states.

ABOUT JD MYERS & LEGACY
“Former Asylum artist Myers is going the indie route with a collection that is straight up the Americana alley. Its title tune is a rootsy country rocker with deep-twang guitar, wailing harmonica, and a pounding backbeat. Heartily recommended.” – Robert K. Oermann
