Award-winning blues rock band King King stop off in Chester on Saturday (November 26) as their truncated UK tour visits The Live Rooms.
Due to a vocal cord condition with lead singer and guitarist Alan Nimmo, the majority of King King's dates have been re-scheduled to January, February, March and May 2017.
But four dates will go ahead this month – at Edinburgh Queen's Hall (Friday, November 25), Clitheroe’s The Grand Venue (Sunday, November 27), London’s Islington Assembly Hall (Tuesday, November 29) and of course Chester.
Having scored three radio hit singles on Planet Rock with the songs Crazy, Hurricane, and most recently, Rush Hour, the band have just released their fourth single Waking Up.
This year, King King scooped five British Blues Awards including Best Male Vocal (Nimmo), Best Bass Player (Lindsay Coulson), Best Song (Rush Hour), Best Album (Reaching for the Light) and Best Songwriter.
October saw the release of King King’s first live album, King King Live, which hit the No1 spot in Amazon’s Best Seller’s Blues Chart.
King King features the talents of Nimmo (vocals, guitar), Coulson (bass), Wayne Proctor (drums) and Bob Fridzema (keyboards).
They will be joined in Chester by special guests Broken Witt Rebels
The Birmingham four-piece comprises James Tranter (guitar), Danny Core (vocals), Luke Davis (bass) and James Dudley (drums).
Their bluesy southern swagger has drawn favourable comparisons with Kings of Leon, Alabama Shakes and The Black Keys.
The band have rushed out their recent single, Guns, to capitalize on fan-driven interest.
This Saturday's Live Rooms gig is now sold out but tickets are available for the other tour dates, costing £20.
They are available from the 24-hour box office 0844 478 0898 and www.thegigcartel.com.
