Bio
The Whiskey River Kings has been a project of Frankie Gardner and Big Dan Halbrooks for years before it's current incarnation. These two men have always talked about incorporating their love for Irish folk music into the traditional folk and blues songs that they love to write and the stories they love to tell through their lyrics. Frankie and Big Dan came together because of their love of three things: their shared Irish heritage, good whiskey and stout, and their passion to keep alive old time folk, bluegrass, and blues and make those styles more accessible to their generation.
With the addition of rock/fusion drummer Taylor Moore and folk bassist Daniel Williams, The Whiskey River Kings stumbled upon a sound unlike any other bands in their hometown of Huntsville, AL, earning them a good deal of local acclaim. Their mix of folk, country, and blues songwriting and playing coupled with the rock styles of Taylor and Dan have made for a combination that has become their trademark. Their original music pulls from a wide range of influences, from Dylan to Hendrix, and pairs upbeat rhymes and rhythms with both serious and fun themes.
The debut album "St. Jameson" will be released March 30, 2012.
