Justin Biltonen: 3 Doors Down Bassist, Acclaimed Country Artist, and Western Jewelry Maker
In this episode, we sit down with Justin Biltonen—best known as the bass player for multi-platinum rock band 3 Doors Down. But that’s just part of the story. Justin has carved out a successful solo career in country music and built a reputation as a skilled silversmith with his western jewelry brand, Sacred West Vintage.
We talk about life on the road with 3 Doors Down, the transition into country songwriting, and what it means to handcraft pieces of silver that carry meaning and tradition. From the stage to the silver bench, Justin shares the highs, the grind, and the inspiration behind it all.
