The Kings play Nuts4Ribs!

They're back! After a six-month absence from the local music scene, The BBQ Kings are hitting the stage again on Saturday, August 22nd for the 3rd annual Nut4Ribs Ribfest (www.nuts4ribs.com).

This year, the venue is the Halifax waterfront, next to the Waterfront Warehouse. The Kings had a blast playing at last year's event and are honoured to be invited back. They'll kick off the day-long concert series at 12:15pm.

Following the departure of long-time member John M Gray to pursue a solo career, the band has been busily cooking up new material in their secret rehearsal space. The Nuts4Ribs event will mark the début of some rockin' originals by Deputy Doug Barron and the addition of several lesser-known gems from artists as diverse as Long John Baldry and Tom Petty. And as always with the Kings, you can count on inspired mash-ups (would you believe Stevie Wonder & ZZ Top ?) and a spicy dash of Cajun and Zydeco to accompany those delicious ribs you'll be chomping on.

For the Nuts4Ribs gig, the regular BBQ Kings lineup of Doug Barron, Mario Bradet, Jon Domagala, Costas Halavrezos and Rob Hutten will be supercharged by Len LeBlanc (Blou, Drum!) on drums & harmonica.

See you there!
