THE KING BEES~ The King Bees have traveled over this country and many others performing on European festival stages and in Mississippi juke joints. They have several internationally acclaimed Cds.. In the mid-80's The King Bees decided to quit learning blues just from records. They traveled to the deep-South to be mentored by blues masters whom they had always revered. This led to profound friendships that thrive to this day. They produce NRBF as an homage to the real-deal artists who created this most wonderful of American music & who generously share their gifts. The King Bees will be joined by friends Big Mike Kincaid (sax maestro deluxe), Juke Joint Johnny (harmonica wizard) and a few surprises! www.reverbnation.com/thekingbees | |
