About Me
The John Stanley King Band, is the nucleus of a growing family drawn to its improvisational treatment of Rock, Reggae, Jazz, Funk, Blues, and R&B music. Its layered guitars, experimental grooves, and rich soulful harmonies, capture the listener and take them from one musical journey to another.
JSK consists of an acoustic duo to an electric band with a screaming horn section. The band can have as many as 12 members on stage, depending on the night. JSK adds instruments as a painter adds colors.
