Freddi Gowdy, of the legendary 1970s soul-band Freddi Henchi & The Soul Setters and Chris Daniels came together to make the long awaited Kings’ 13th album and the first of a series with Freddi and Chris together in Sam & Dave style collaboration.

Appearances in the past year included The New West Festival with War, KBCO Studio C and the PBS Channel 6 Arts & Entertainment Special. Daniels, Gowdy and the Kings came together with Billy Payne from Little Feat, Hazel Miller (Big Head Todd & The Monsters) Carl Carlyle (Earth Wind & Fire), Christian Teele (E Town) and a host of amazing players to create the sweet soul-funk of their latest album “Funky To The Bone.” It has all the elements of Sly & The Family Stone, Chicago 1967 and the Saturday Night Live Band rolled into one package that came out early in 2015.
