Solomon King at MJ's

It’s been said that Solomon King’s finely honed musicianship and dynamic showmanship channels timeless artists like Lou Reed, Leonard Cohen, Johnny Cash, Nick Cave and Bob Dylan; that his music embraces everything from Rock, R&B, the Blues, and Americana to Classical music; that his songs feature rich lyrical monologues, delivered in a heartfelt storytelling fashion; and that his unique voice will pass this way but once. 

To date, Grammy-nominated Solomon King has blazed his own path from his humble beginnings in Detroit’s rock and Motown scene, then with a guitar on his back he found “Hollywood Underground” and classic blues deep in Los Angeles. All before striking out for Hawaii, Australia and Israel on tour. His debut Under the Sun was released in 2008 to rave reviews and a Grammy recognition. Two songs from that debut album, “Jack Me Up” and “Frankie and Johnnie,” were featured in the first season of HBO’s True Blood. Along the way, Solomon King has also expertly portrayed infamous music legend Phil Spector in the Phil Spector Incident movie. 

In recent years, Solomon has been focusing his efforts on touring all across California, the Pacific Northwest, and the South putting on intimate solo acoustic performances. He’s compiled several of these performances for his new vinyl-exclusive live record Return of the Folk Singer. The album combines original material from his back-catalog with covers from some of his favorite artists. He has several shows coming up to support the new album. Go to the Tour Dates tab on solomonkingmusic.com for his up-to-date schedule of shows, and go to the Return of the Folk Singer Vinyl page for more info on purchasing the record.
