King Bee

With every KING BEE performance, comes a strikingly potent and vigorous musical declaration of heart, passion and riotous soul through songs inspired by a deeply ingrained foundation of genuine southern blues. Renowned for their musicianship and high energy approach, their unique sound is an unadulterated fusion of soaring guitar, virtuous harp, powerful vocals and fat, heavy grooves. Hailing from historic Montgomery Alabama, the birthplace of civil rights and hometown to the likes of Big Mama Thornton, Nat King Cole and Hank Williams, King Bee has a story to tell, a musical message to convey to their audiences by serving as a living testimony to the fact that the blues is alive and thriving. now more than ever! However, KING BEE is not just "another blues band". Their music often crosses multiple genres and into the realms of jazz, funk, psychedelic and hard rock. If one could imagine combining Sonny Boy Williamson, Muddy Waters, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Parliament and Black Sabbath, they'd be on the right track of what to expect to hear on a KING BEE album or witness at a live show.
