Savannah King

Savannah began her musical pursuit at an early age and discovered her gift of storytelling through songs – songs whose lyrics have been described as deep and well beyond her years. By honing her live sound, Savannah brings her independent alternative folk sound at its very best to every performance. In addition to headlining her own shows, Savannah has opened the show for many artists such as Emmylou Harris, 10,000 Maniacs, Harpeth Rising, Sera Cahoone, Field Report, and award-winning Canadian country music singer-songwriter Ryan Cook, as well as performing with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra. Savannah has released three EP’s of all original music: Throwing Stones (2010), She Sends Her Love (2012), and The Acoustic Collection (2013). By 2014 Savannah had formed her first band, Savannah & The Kings – Mark Bamann (lead guitar), Loren Metzger (drums), and Scott Gergelis (bass). Their first full length studio album "Bold & Unsteady", was released in April 2015. The album was met with glowing reviews from critics: "Great voice and very cool album production . . .more important, the songs are really great. King sings, 'Don't come back, I'll just mess it up again' in The Gambler - I like that." -Ron Altbach, The Beach Boys ""Bold & Unsteady," which marries King's stellar alt-pop songcraft - think Sarah McLachlan with more of an edge - to supple, subtle and beautifully orchestrated contributions from her new band..." -Jeff Miers, The Buffalo News "Touches of Jazz (courtesy of Gergelis' outstanding upright bass playing), pop, folk and indie rock meld together for a cohesive sound. No self-indulgent doodling, no gimmicks, no unnecessary window dressings among the arrangements." -Bob Silvestri, BestOfWNY.com Savannah had the honor of becoming a Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk Songwriting Competition Finalist in May 2014 where she flew to Kerrville, TX to perform. By fall of the same year she started touring with two time platinum selling artists The 10,000 Maniacs as an opening act, harmony vocalist, and rhythm guitarist. Savannah finished 2014 by graduating from SUNY Fredonia with a bachelor’s degree in Music Industry. Since purchasing and renovating a 1987 Ford Coachman camper van in May 2016, Savannah has begun a 7 month long tour of the United States. Her next album is set for release in summer of 2017.
