Hailing mainly from Eugene, Oregon, Justin King and his band (consisting of old Eugene friends Drew Dresman and Ehren Ebbage, as well as delinquent Berkeley Physics PhD student Nadir Jeevanjee) released their debut EP Fall/Rise earlier this year and are gearing up to release their debut full-length album sometime this summer. The EP, recorded independently and engineered, produced, and mixed entirely by Justin, was recorded while the band was extricating itself from a disintegrating record deal with Epic. The soon-to-be released full length album features the tracks that were recorded for Epic, some of which were produced by Rob Schnapf (Elliot Smith, Beck, The Vines, Guided By Voices), Ron Aniello (Lifehouse, Barenaked Ladies) as well as Justin himself. The EP and album, recorded primarily at Justin’s very own Blackberry Hill Studios in Eugene, as well as at studios in Los Angeles and Oakland, are the culmination of the past three years which the band has spent writing, recording, and touring across the country. 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, B.B. King, Keller Williams, Mason Jennings, Al Green and others. He also released a CD of original songs and instrumental compositions entitled ‘Le Bleu’, recorded at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios. As if all this weren’t enough, Justin is also a talented multi-instrumentalist; he plays guitar and 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! <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Justin+King+and+The+Apologies">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
