Peter Utsey Emerald

continued from page 6
making notes by hitting the strings at
select points with the fingers, on a
double-neck guitar, using one hand
for each neck. When King commit
ted to the idea, he approached Port
land guitar-maker Mike Doolin about
making an instrument to fit the bill.
Doolin said he is “always interest
ed in doing new projects,” and so be
gan the creation of his first double
neck guitar. King also approached
Doolin about making a signature se
ries guitar, the goal of which is “to
have a symbj.Qfic relationship with
another entity like a guitar-maker.”
Doolin joined what he considers to be
a “gentleman’s agreement” because
he has confidence in King.
“He’s amazingly talented. He’s a
great singer, player and songwriter.
(Success) is always a matter of luck,
but if the luck comes his way, he’ll
run with it,” Doolin said.
King has also been fostering a rela
tionship with local drummer James
West. The two musicians met less
than two months ago, and King
quickly decided he wanted West to
accompany him to England to record,
West said. They went to the Real
World Studios in Wiltshire, England
— a venture for which King said he
had been planning and saving. King
returned to Eugene ear her in Novem
ber to polish the Real World material
at local haunt Gung-Ho Studio.
West is not a stranger to the record
ing process, having done profession
al studio work for hire as well as hav
ing played in local bands, such as the
Freedom Funk Ensemble and Theur
gic Seed. West said the experience of
recording at the Real World Studios
was “a reference point” for where he
would like to end up in his career.
“If we didn’t go (to England),
(Justin would) be doing what he’s do
ing forever. There’s a point where
you need to shoot a grappling hook
out there and make some ripples in
the industry,” West said.
West, 23, said now is the perfect
time for them to take career risks. King
said he tries to do anything to push
himself forward by meeting and play
ing with different people in “projects. ”
West said he is trying to focus on
only a few projects to keep from
spreading himself too thin, but
working with King is a worthwhile
commitment. West said his other fo
cus is a group called Rise, in which
he plays with friend and keyboard
player Rob Simonsen.
Already looking ahead, King
plans to include West, Simonsen
and other musicians in another
recording session at his home stu
dio in Eugene early next year with
the intent of making a fourth album.
But King said while he enjoys
recording with other musicians, he
prefers to keep performances solo.
Though King said he often re
ceives praise from fans and peers, he
still keeps his career in perspective.
“I still have a long way to go, for
sure,” King said.

Trans-Siberian
continued from page 5
According to Trans-Siberian Or
chestra’s Web site (www.trans
siberian.com), “Christmas Eve &
Other Stories” is the story of heav
en’s youngest angel, sent on a mis
sion from God to find the one thing
on Earth that represents the spirit of
Christmas, and in the process, he
helps bring home a runaway child.
“It’s traditional Christmas music
done with a rock-symphonic twist,”
said Tim McGrath, director of mar
keting for House of Blues concerts.
He said the Trans-Siberian Or
chestra appeals to people of many
faiths other than Christians and
brings a feeling of warmth and kind
r
ness to the audience.
“It’s a great way to kick off the hol
iday season,” McGrath said. “It’s
festive — and God knows we need
some kind of festivity this year. ”
“Christmas Eve & Other Stories”
has become the fifth-largest grossing
holiday event, following perform
ances such as the Radio City Music
Hall Christmas Spectacular with the
Rockettes, the “Nutcracker Ballet” by
Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky and “A
Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens.
“Everyone is just so into the mu
sic,” O’Neill said. “You can see it in
the looks on their faces; they're just
so connected with what we're doing,
and it is wonderful to tap into peo
ple’s passions and emotions, espe
cially during the Christmas season.”

Continuing with the spirit of good
will, the Portland radio station
KVMX will donate $1 of every ticket
sold to Self Enhancement Inc., a char
ity dedicated to helping inner-city
youth, according to Susan Reynolds,
the station’s marketing director.
Stan Sittser, marketing director at
the Rose Quarter, said last year’s
performance drew a great turnout,
and now that the Trans-Siberian Or
chestra has “the buzz,” he expects
this year’s performance to also draw
a large crowd.
“It’s a Christmas concert with a
rock beat,” Sittser said. “It’s not your
father’s Christmas music. ”
