King King are the proud winners of the Best Band category at the British Blues Awards for the past three years (2012, 2013, 2014).

What’s more, the band scooped several more awards at the 2014 British Blues Awards including Band of the Year, Album of the Year, Male Vocal of the Year, Bass Player of the Year and Drummer of the Year.

When King King’s second album Standing In The Shadows was first released on March 25th, 2013, it featured eight original tracks, plus two covers. The album was rapturously received with open arms by the band’s growing fan base.

Recorded at Superfly Studios in the Nottinghamshire countryside, and co-produced by vocalist/guitarist Alan Nimmo and drummer Wayne Proctor, Standing In The Shadows was the kind of album that stayed true to the band’s Glaswegians’ blues-rock roots, and also managed to keep listeners on their toes.

In 2011, King King first broke cover as the hottest draw in British blues-rock. As co-frontman of the legendary Nimmo Brothers, Alan Nimmo was already a towering figure on the international blues scene.

The band, meanwhile, were among the most skilled and respected musicians on the circuit, and in May 2011, King King released their debut album Take My Hand to critical acclaim.

From the moment their firecracker live debut stole the show at the Monaghan Blues Festival, King King have built their reputation the old-fashioned way, relentlessly touring and blowing the roof down on a nightly basis.

By 2012, the buzz was too loud to ignore and at the Newark Blues Festival last September, King King’s meteoric ascent was recognised by the British Blues Awards, with the band beating off stiff competition from the likes of Ian Siegal and 24 Pesos to pick up gongs in arguably the two most coveted categories – Best British Blues Band and Best British Blues Album.
