Kings of Crownsville
2018-11-16 20:00 - 23:00 (America/Halifax) | 49 West – The Back Room, 49 West St., Annapolis, MD, 21401, United States
Annapolis-based act Kings of Crownsville are a roots Rock band with a New Orleans flavor.
The brainchild of New Orleans-raised guitarist/singer/songwriter Steve Johnson, the Kings play a rollicking, entertaining set that stirs Americana, Blues, and Jazz
into their mix of Johnson’s witty original tunes as well as a few well-chosen covers with a hint of Louisiana spice.
Their signature horn section transports listeners to the streets of the Big Easy, while they also add precise three- and four-part harmonies to their musical gumbo.
Think Louis Armstrong meets Steely Dan.
The Kings of Crownsville features Johnson backed by Ed Justice on trumpet, flugelhorn and vocals; Jim Tavener on trombone, percussion, and vocals; Mike McCormick on keyboards and vocals; David Vermette on bass and vocals; and Rob Creath behind the drums.
“Homegrown Americana boogie blues and big band rockin’ swing jazz is a chunky description of the Kings … a robust, polished sound that makes for easy toe-tapping and dancing.”
Stephen Perraud. The Live Wire. June 2011
