Introducing The Duke & The King

• 6th Nov 2009

New single “The Morning I Get To Hell” out on 14th December 2009 on Loose Music

The Duke & The King are a glam-soul-folk quartet from New York featuring Simone Felice, Bobbie Bird Burke, Simi Stone and Nowell Haskins. Named after the travelling Shakespeare Hustlers in Mark Twain's 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' these curious blood-brothers (and sweet sister) have found a home together, a travelling church of harmony and sin where its OK to French kiss your cousin and all strays are welcome to come out of the cold and sing along to songs of love, loss, pathos and hope. The Duke & The King have been touring all corners of the globe in support of their internationally acclaimed debut album 'Nothing Gold Can Stay'.

The Duke & The King will be playing two UK shows in November:

Saturday 21 November – The Ruby Lounge – Manchester

Sunday 22 November – The Scala – London

“Exquisite -Already one of my favourite albums of the Year” – UNCUT

“Songs so perfectly formed they might have been around forever” – THE DAILY TELEGRAPH

“A wondrous album” – CD of The Week – THE SUNDAY TIMES

“The kind of record that cults are made of” – THE WORD
