The band
Mountain funk with blazing horns
Since 1984 the Kings have brought the call-and-response energy of a singer and a horn section to stages from the Boulder Theater to Paradiso in Amsterdam. They’ve backed Garth Brooks, Bonnie Raitt, Vince Gill and Bo Diddley, toured with Albert King and James Taylor, and play 70+ dates a year across two continents.
Chris was inducted into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame in 2013; Freddi Gowdy of the Freddi-Henchi Band, who has fronted the Kings with Chris since 2010, joined him there in 2020.
