Curtis King - LIVE!: Curtis King Home

The Curtis King Band is a funky, bluesy, good-time, traveling rock ‘n’ roll band with an East-meets-West sound. We've been keeping the party going in Asia since 1996, performing and touring in China (including Taiwan and Hong Kong), India, Japan, Singapore, New Zealand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam. Curtis and his cast of world-class musicians and entertainers have been featured on MTV, the BBC, China Central Television, XoneFM Radio (Vietnam), HTV (Vietnam). The band has performed at The 2008 Agent Orange Benefit Concert, LIVE EARTH 2007 and Jakarta International Jazz Festival , and have played with international greats Deep Purple, local Vietnamese talents Tran Manh Tuan, Siu Black, Hong Nhung, Singapore's guitarist extraordinaire John Chee (at the legendary Crazy Elephant), Matthew "Cadillac" Cooper, and many other top performers from around the world. The band has recorded 2 studio albums and 2 live albums (1 of which hit the #1 spot at Tower Records and HMV Singapore), and has recently experimented with an East-meets-West blues style using traditional Asian instruments. (Check out the music/video page.) We also are involved in the local community, supporting the Vietnam Red Cross on the Agent Orange issue. (See links.)

Real music. Good times.

(Have guitar, will travel. :-)

The Curtis King Band is currently based out of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, featuring Curtis King (from Cleveland, USA - the home of Rock 'n' Roll) on vocals, guitar and harmonica.

While performing in Singapore in 2005, Curtis was selected by Singapore Business Visitor magazine as one of the top 5 "must see" performers in Singapore. (Singapore Business Visitor, August 2005)

The band has a vast repertoire that includes classics from many eras and genres... with good music and groove as the core, we can throw in rock 'n' roll, jazz, swing, soul, blues, funk, reggae, disco, country, and even a bit of hip hop. We also have a large database of local and international musicians, and we can put together just the right entertainment to meet our clients' requirements.

We've been called "Arguably the best party band in Asia." We've played almost every kind of party imaginable: birthdays, weddings, galas, and yes, even funerals. We've played for heads of state, newlyweds, billionaires, and even the dead. :-)
