The New Kings of Rhythm are a super funky nine-piece band from the suburbs of Philadelphia. They have been active in the local and regional music scene since 1995 blending original numbers with covers of genre classics during funked out live sets and over four albums. They have developed a working song list of over 300 songs fusing Funk, Reggae, and Rhythm and Blues featuring badass guitar solos, horns, keys, percussion and a DJ. Their approach to building a vibe ensures a unique and fresh experience every time they take the stage, quickly making them a fixture on the festival circuit. Catch them in venues across Philadelphia and Chester County, New York City and soon.. Memphis for the International Blues Challenge! "Absolutely amazing. If these guys don't get you movin'... you're already dead! Don't miss them." - The Bent Note “They truly are a band that approach’s each show differently, which is always refreshing knowing that you will not be seeing the same show twice. This is truly a band that seems to thrive in the festival environment. With a plethora of talented musicians this is one group that promises to entertain.” - Rich McKie, Tri State Indie
