Hailing mainly from Eugene, Oregon, Justin King and his band have just completed their debut album for Epic and are gearing up for a national tour this spring. Their album, produced and engineered by Rob Schnapf and Doug Boehm (Elliot Smith, Beck, The Vines, Guided By Voices), ranges from solo acoustic guitar to densely layered melodic rock.

In addition to writing, playing, and singing in the band, Justin is also an accomplished solo acoustic guitarist. Known for his innovative techniques and virtuosic style (always tempered with an overarching musicality), Justin has played all over the world, touring with Diana Krall and James Taylor as well as sharing bills with Nickel Creek, Keller Williams, Mason Jennings and others. He has also released a CD of original songs and instrumental compositions entitled 'Le Bleu', recorded at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios. And if all this wasn't enough, Justin is also a talented multi-instrumentalist; he plays guitar and electric piano live, and has played drums and bass on many of the band's demos, as well as on a couple of tracks on the album.
