The Duke & The King are a glam-soul-folk quartet from New York featuring Simone Felice, Bobbie Bird Burke, Simi Stone and Nowell Haskins. Named after the traveling Shakespeare hustlers in 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' these curious blood-brothers (and sweet sister) have found a home together, a traveling Church of Harmony and Sin where its OK to french kiss your cousin and all strays are welcome to come out of the cold and sing along to these songs of love, loss, pathos, and hope. The D & The K will be touring all corners of the globe in support of their internationally acclaimed debut album 'Nothing Gold Can Stay', so come on down and shake your country ass!
Put my ipod on shuffle last night, first track up out of a zillion was 'The Morning I get To Hell'. How it made me smile! All the best for the European dates, can't wait :)
Summer Morning Rain - good tune for waking up a Saturday morning and getting inspiration for the day. You guys are good...... best of luck on the tour...dv
I just saw you guys got a small right up in Rolling Stone, Just under The Avetts, Dawes, and J. Tillman, Great company. Not bad for less than a year of the Duke and the King.
Actually see Danielle's comment below I think you should be called The Princess, The Deacon, The Duke & The King! ....and I hope that you realie thats not a bitchy comment about you Simi...just those guys should know who is running the show!
Can't wait to see you at Scala in November. I was one of the 50 in the audience at Bedford. You were amazing and I hope we did you proud - I LOVED IT !!!
Ha Enjoyed the comments re Jools Holland Show....and I have ranted enough about him and his piano however talented he might be...but was a bit disappointed that I had made so many people watch only to get one song?....wheres all my fire, my famous missionary zeal? And why only two mics? Were they expecting a duke and a king? Have tickets for The Scala...see you there x
Hi all - thanks for the add and welcome to my little space! Really enjoyed seeing you on the Jools Holland show - hope to catch your London date! Keep on keepin' on - bluesy best - Bron
Well I have to say that I am very disappointed with Mr Jools Holland. What was he thinking more or less dedicating a show to bloody Mika and Shakira. Actually what was he thinking having them on at all! Would have loved to have seen more of the guys rather than those two! What I did see though made me smile... This time next year he'll be dedicating a whole show to the D and the K whilst Mika watches on... (nb the views expressed are solely mine!!)
To let everyone interested in the D and K know (if they don't already) that although no live coverage on the Jools Holland Later Live show on tuesday, a stream of 'If You Ever Get Famous' is front and centre on the Later website: www.bbc.co.uk/later. Get on there and watch it y'all!!!
