THE VOODOO KINGS
São Paulo, SP, Brazil
About
The Voodoo Kings believe in rock n’roll. They believe in it like the pulsing of a thumping bass line, the heartbeat of the rhythm section and the crunch of dirty guitars. .They believe there is no substitution for two guitars, a driving bass, and banging drums. Just four musicians on stage who know what they’re doing, and crushing it whenever they can. Michael Kranicke, founder of the Voodoo Kings, grew up surrounded by the greatest Chicago bluesmen, thanks to his dad’s record player. Muddy Waters and Buddy Guy taught him the blues, and later Keith Richards and Stevie Ray Vaughan taught him how to turn those blues into a rock-fueled epiphany. For over twenty years, the Voodoo Kings have been bringing the party to audiences around the country. The band is all about sending out that beautiful energy, and getting it right back from the audience. It’s that organic feedback loop, that connection between the music and your body moving, that fuels the soul of this band and keeps them coming back for more. Their latest release, Faith & Whiskey, is lovingly named after the two things that keep Michael going in the music world. From the kicking rhythm section to spirited guitar riffs and four part Americana harmonies, this is about celebrating what makes rock’n’roll the pure art it is. Faith & Whiskey is an album with a little bit of Beatles, a touch of Tom Petty, and some whispers from Merle Haggard. It’s a fast-paced, headlong trip through our country’s love affair with Rock.
