Search - Louis King :: That & A Quarter

Louis king, one of australia's most dynamic live performers and distinctive songwriters, hits the ground running with his 5th cd release "that. and a quarter". This is a new set of 10 original songs, which take the blues and roots formula's and turn them on their head and enough lyrical complexity to keep any pedantic lyric reader analysing for ever. He takes on all the heavy stuff, taking a big acidic swipe at religion, politicians, war, regret, loss and hypocrisy; his own included! 'that. and a quarter' features some of this country's best musicians, including harry 'the hand' brus, dale lindrea, ian collard and chris 'piano' wilson. Since 1996 louis king has been paying his dues as well as playing his blues all over the world. Highlights include being a featured performer 4 years in a row at the byron bay blues & roots festival, playing the british blues festival at burnley, uk in 2007, three tours of europe as well as support slots for bb king, michael hill, buddy guy, screamin' jay hawkins and jimmie vaughan.
