about Larry Pattis
Named one of the Top 10 Best Acoustic Music Artists of the Decade by the International Acoustic Music Awards, Larry Pattis has been a featured headline performer at such illustrious venues as the Montreal International Jazz Festival and the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Millennium Stage in Washington DC.
“My particular style has evolved over the years into a fusion of folk, classical, and Celtic styles, which focuses mainly on both melodic and rhythmic variation, and creates a cohesive and linear story-telling-form with each piece,” Pattis said.
“Each piece is a short-story, or perhaps a chapter describing a life experience,” Pattis said.

Though perhaps best-known in the acoustic guitar world for his tapping and percussive skills as showcased on his popular 2001 album Le Bleu (which he recorded at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios in England), Oregon-born Justin King has enjoyed a varied career in and outside of music.
Growing up he was a fan of Nirvana and other Northwest groups and took up both drums and guitar. In his late teens he moved into fingerstyle acoustic music, inspired by Will Ackerman and other Windham Hill guitarists—especially Michael Hedges, the most influential of all the percussive “tappers.”
Justin toured as a solo opening act for the likes of James Taylor, B.B. King, and Al Green, but then formed a band that signed to Epic Records called Justin King and the Apologies, which mixed melodic electric rock with some of his acoustic guitar flights.
