Bio
.. .......... .. .. .. .. .. .. .......... .... The Duke & The King are a soul-folk-glam ensemble from the sticks of New York founded, produced, and created by Simone Felice and Robert Bird Burke, featuring the sensational Simi Stone and Reverend Loveday, and like any traveling theatre troupe there's bound to be a growing cast of bewitching characters. Named for the traveling Shakespeare hustlers in 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn', these curious band of rebels/rabble have found an unexpected home together, a floating raft adrift on a river of chance, an itinerant church of harmony and sin where its okay to french kiss your cousin and all strays are welcome to come out of the cold and sing along to these songs of love, loss, pathos, and hope. In just a short time since the release of their debut album The Duke & The King have garnered a barrage of international acclaim, earning comparisons to some of pop history's most hallowed acts, from Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young to Smokey Robinson, Fleetwood Mac, Sly & the Family Stone, and Simon & Garfunkel. ............ .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... ...... -

10 of 303MoreI work for L.T. and he showed me your music. It was so beautiful it made me want to cry.
Love you !!!
Just so's you know... Robert Elms on BBC Radio London is re-broadcasting your entire session from April 19 today, in his final show of the year, a round-up of what he believes was the finest music of 2010. He's damn right, too.
'Long Live...' is certainly my album of the year, (jointly alongside Marah's wonderful 'Life Is A Problem') and is as great a collection of songs as any American band has released this century.
Thanks so much, from your friends in London, here's the link, the show's on for the next three hours and can be replayed for seven days on the Radio London website:
