Chris Daniels & the Kings played their first show on March 14, 1984. The seven piece rockin' band, called "funky-blues" by the Europeans, is an all out "horn band" celebrating their 24th year of making great R&B, Funk, Jump Blues, and Rock 'n Roll. They have been compared to "Little Feat with horns" and "John Hiatt meets Tower of Power." Since '91, the band has made a name for themselves touring Europe: playing for the Queen of Holland at the 50 Year VE Day Celebration and for 450,000 people at Parkpop in Den Hague. They have had number one hits in Holland with their critically acclaimed CDs: 10, The Spark, Is My Love Enough, That's What I Like About The South, In Your Face, When You’re Cool, Choice Cuts, Live Wired and Louie Louie. Chris Daniels & the Kings have toured over two continents and have been asked to appear in such diverse places as The Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame, South America, Japan, and all over Europe. Chris has appeared with B.B. King, Uncle Cracker, Blues Traveler, The Neville Brothers, Delbert McClinton, Sister Hazel, Sheryl Crow, Robert Cray, Taj Mahal, Al Kooper, Bonnie Raitt, Ziggy Marley, The Fixx, to name only a few. They have been headliners on international festivals including the Ribs & Blues Festival with their buddies The Bluesmasters, at Marktrock, Berchem Blues, and the Lokeren festivals in Belgium. Chris & the Kings have also served as the back up band for Sonny Landreth at the Paradiso in Amsterdam, David Bromberg at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Al Kooper in LA at the Roxey, Bo Diddly all over the place, Francine Reed at the Denver Blues Festival and Dutch guitarist Jan Rijbroek in Paris. They also played back up for Bonnie Raitt, members of Little Feat, and Was Not Was at the Roxey in LA. FOR MORE INFORMATION GO TO www.chrisdaniels.com
Hey! You guys were awesome on Friday! Sorry I didn't get to come say hi....hopefully next time, and hopefully it won't take me 3 years to come see ya again....lol
I'm on here checking my E-mail and thought I'd stop by to say hi and let you know that I really miss you. I still find myself talking to people about you and what I learned about music when you were teaching guitar.
Btw, I am still at Metro doing the Music teacher ed licensure thing. The high grades, memorization of all of my pieces and performing when I wasn't required to counted in my favor. So here I am and excited about the new semester too.
If I have room in my schedule in the fall, I will be signing up for pop rock ensemble - to get more group experience with that genre of music.
Anyway, I hope this finds you well. When I have time, I'll be out for another show. Stay warm and have a great semester at UCD.
Hey Chris, thanks for talking with me today. It was good to see you again. I'll keep you posted about this Music Ed and accompaniment thing. Right now I'm getting all "A"s and if I make it all the way through this program, that can transelate to a lot of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and great credentials :) I'll be blowing Mark Markcinko out of the water :)
I thought I would stop by here and give you a shout out for a great show tonight in the Pavillions Mall. I love the ACDC stuff. You guys really know how to rock. You've offered me a lot of encouragement and support for my music so I'm glad I was able to support you and your band tonight.
I know of the perfect song for you guys too "Too hard to handle" by the Black Crows. The New Orleans stuff gave me visions of the John Cleary tune we did last winter when we played "Girl Like You" (the Constantine tune). BTW, Thanks so much for those chords for "Everybody Loves" I feel like a kid in a candy shop now, lol.
Well... I hope you have a great weekend and I will see you on the Auraria Campus this fall. Take care,
Rock and roll had a baby and called it "Blues". May the blues live on forever. May your favorite music live on forever as well Chris Daniels and the Kings
