The "King's" are brother and sister team, Jeff & Melissa; joined by long time musician friends Ed Balon, Tom Coburn, John Cantalini, and Eric Hooben. We play our own original music of many styles, and an eclectic mix of our all our favorite cover songs. We like putting together shows that anyone can relate to, and escape to; and we always keep the band moving by adding and writing new songs; and by bringing on guest musicians, actors, dancers and sideshow freaks. (just kidding about the dancers)
Hope to see you out soon; god bless and enjoy the ride.

Influences: a wide eclectic mix of influences. so, let's break it down if you're really interested...
Jeff- Johnny Cash and Pasionate Jazz.
Mel- Patsy Cline and Family.
John- The Alman Brothers with John Schofield.
Tom- Elvis Presley and the Holy Spririt.
Ed- Bob Marley and the Great Outdoors.
All the members of the band write songs, and we try not to put any paramiters on the music we write. As long as it's a good song with passion and a good story, we don't care if it sounds like reggea, country, rock, or any other "genre". We hope the people that dig our songs find us; and as they do we'll still be here writing more and playing shows. Keep in touch, maybe you could be an influence on us. See you out there.
Sounds Like: ...slowly turning the dial on your radio all the way from left to right and back again cause you don't want to just dig on one style the whole ride; you need contant changes and surprises and varieties; but when it's all said and done we end up back on the left side of the dial.
Here's a clip from the Wormtown Music Festival
Record Label: Independent....very independent.
Type of Label: Unsigned
