Fronted by charismatic bluesman Alan Nimmo, their exhilarating debut at last year’s Monaghan Blues Festival created such a stir that it prompted the festival organizer to state: “King King aren’t just playing the festival. Word is that King King ARE the festival”. With a reception like this there’s little surprise that the phone has been ringing off the hook ever since, and after a frenetic winter tour the lads are currently gearing up for a hectic autumn tour of clubs and festival appearances.
With a line-up of top-shelf musicians, King King could only draw their inspiration
from the best in the business, ranging from legendary greats such as BB King
and Albert Collins to the shining lights of contemporary blues like Walter Trout,
Joe Bonamassa and John Mayer. Drawing on their combined talent whilst cherry-picking
the hottest influences, the band has pushed boundaries to craft a fresh, powerful
new angle on blues rock which is as infectious as it is accomplished.
