Interview with blues rockers Kingsborough as they gear up for another great year

December 9, 2015

The end of the year tends to be a time for bands to wind down but that is not the case for blues rockers Kingsborough from Santa Rosa. They have continued to keep the rock torch alive with great shows around the Bay Area.  This is one band that we have been following for a couple years now and they truly give 150% every time they perform. As I have mentioned before, their music is a very welcoming fusion of soulful blues and classic rock but with a much more modernized face lift! They literally bring an intensity to their music, soulful vocals that just grab a hold of you, catchy choruses, spectacular guitar solos, striking rhythms and big harmonies that need their own zip code. This is one band that you can only be described as “ROCK AND ROLL AT ITS FINEST”.     We had the chance to chat with them last Friday as they were about to perform at 755 After Dark in Sebastopol. Check out our interview with them: They have another show [Read More]

Kingsborough’s set at Phoenix Theater puts them into the spotlight where they belong

September 11, 2014

Last Saturday at The Phoenix Theater in Petaluma, I was able to finally catch a set of Kingsborough. I have been hearing a lot of great buzz about this band for a couple years now. We missed them this summer at Bottle Rock in Napa, and we have been waiting ever so impatiently to find the right time to see them. Well the stars aligned and the music gods made it happen. They were playing at The Phoenix and we were not going to miss them, especially for such a close show for us. Kingsborough is: Billy Kingsborough: Vocals Alex Leach: Guitar Chris Mangione: Bass John Whitney: Drums Well, they did exactly what I had expected, actually they exceeded my expectations and completely blew us away with their performance. These guys must eat adrenaline filled Wheaties because from the moment they hit the stage to the time they step off, they are giving a full 150% of their energy. When asked about their energy and if they have any pre-show rituals to harness their energy, Billy [Read More]
