2003 Chris King Robinson’s musical career may have started at age 9 when he got hold of his first Fender Stratocaster, but his love of the blues began at a much earlier age; growing up listening to guitar legends such as: Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix & Buddy Guy etc.
Chris’s fresh, modern take on the Blues in 2016 preceded him to play the highly exclusive Lead Belly Festival, held at the world renowned Carnegie Hall in New York City on February 4th. After being introduced on stage by Marky Ramone, Chris played a scorching psychedelic jam to the sold out crowd at Carnegie Hall!
At 22 Chris represents the new wave of blues ensuring that the blues stays alive for a new generation.

Main support comes from Tom McCartney at 17 and with a voice like Howlin' Wolf Tom's music is described as bluesy rock n roll with a country twang. Receiving a lot of recognition across the Midlands and elsewhere and supported by BBC Introducing East Midlands with airplay and a live session it won't be long before he is a regular on the blues circuit.
