The Duke Street Kings play a Chicago style blues show with succinct guitar riffs, wailing harmonica and smokey vocals. We have an excellent following in the Denver area. In November 2005 at our eighth annual "Blues and Barbeque for Better Housing" we raised more than $7200.00 for Habitat for Humanity. We have a mailing list of over 500 fans and it grows each gig. So if you're looking for an entertaining band that can bring people to your event or if you're just looking for a fun band for your party, read on.
The Kings formed in 1981 as a college band playing the Denver area. We played at Sam's on Lookout Mountain! (How many bands can still claim that?), Lakeside Amusement Park and lots of other college bars and parties. After a few years the Kings disbanded (pun intended) and the members went on their separate ways.
In 1998 a twist of fate and a concerted effort by calling every Alan Hines (lead guitar, hair stylist) in the Denver phone book, Al, Ranger Miller (harmonica, guitar?, and vocals), and Frank Serra (bass, vocals) reunited. The Duke Sreet Kings were back together. Since then the Kings have added Scott Shreeve (interpretive dance, percussion and vocals), Andrew Mueller (drums), Matt Martin (biggest gigging guitarist in the world), Ed May (bass and band smart ass) and Tica Perry (vocals) The Duke Street Queen? Oh well, Tica was only three years old when we picked the name. Recently, Andrew grew frustrated that we wouldn't play more ABBA and decided to move back east after six years in the band. Gordon Stewart (drums, choreography) has replaced Andrew.
We play originals, blues, soul, motown, classic and current rock, everything from the Allman Brother's Band to the Rolling Stones, to the Stray Cats to Smashmouth. With Tica's smokey vocals and the harmonica our sound is definitely evolving in a very bluesy direction.
Our CD "In With The In Crowd" is for sale and we are writing and recording our next CD in hopes of releasing it this year. We can do a show of all originals if that is what you want. Our stage show includes impressions of Mick Jagger, Elvis and other well known rock and roll artists. We play weddings, divorce parties, wakes, and even the occasional briss as well as varied and sundry local gin joints. So come on out and see our show. I promise you'll dig it.

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
Crazy, yeah? It's not until May (I don't know the exact date just yet, but probably mid-ish), but I was hoping you could help me find a rockin' local band to help us celebrate in style. Can ya think of any? Let me know if you do. ;)
Also, for those of you who are going to be at Deckers, I am WAY excited.
And don't think you're not going to get your ass kicked at pinochle, Scott, because you ARE. And it's time you accepted it.
