FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
DSM, IA 11.7.08 — Powerhouse grain belt blues/roots artist THUNDERBIRD KINGSLEY will be performing solo at The Continental in the historic East Village Neighborhood of Des Moines, IA on Thursday, November 13, 2008 - 9PM-12AM.
"Powerhouse grain belt blues/roots band THUNDERBIRD KINGSLEY approaches the distinct musical form of the blues in a raw and captivating way. Their performances are defined by snarling, gravelly vocals, booming, hypnotic barrelhouse guitar work, and foot-stomping, steam-train rhythm. With powerfully sincere musical arrangements from the late 19th century Mississippi Delta, to the electrified glory days of Maxwell Street, Thunderbird Kingsley's low-down songs about love, loss, murder, graveyards and backroom gambling are literal conduits of raw emotion. Their music is a brutal and heart-felt reminder of an American musical tradition to which every music fan today owes a huge debt."
With the release of their self-titled debut album in September 2007, 2008 Iowa Blues Challenge finalist THUNDERBIRD KINGSLEY have recently garnered the attention of award-winning international blues magazine Blues Matters!, and was featured in their May/June '08 issue. (#43) The sound has been well-received by a variety of audiences - from the blues community to the indie rock crowd.
THUNDERBIRD KINGSLEY - "low-down, gut bucket, barrelhouse blues"
