Lance King


Growing up in a musical family, my musical roots run deep. My Dad, Ed King, was the lead vocalist and bass player for several Country bands that toured extensively throughout the United States and into Canada. Song writing has always been a passion for me and my father might argue that any talent I may have for it is genetically inherited from him.
“Tequila, Hot Texas Girls and Tailgates” was a fun song to write, wherein I used my creative imagination to pen a song totally devoted to summer fun, young carefree love and tequila.
My first experience with tequila was of the traditional shot glass, salt and lime variety but as the songs says, now I enjoy tequila best on the rocks.
As a happily married man, I’d be wise to use a little caution when talking about hot Texas girls, but needless to say they look pretty inviting clad in skin tight jeans, an accentuating tank top and a color co-ordinated Atwood cowboy hat.
While writing “Tequila, Hot Texas Girls and Tailgates” I was reminded of the Joe Diffie hit song “Pickup Man”. My favorite line in Joe’s song is “I met all my wives in traffic jams…”. I proudly own a ’96 GMC Sierra long box with over 150,000 miles on the clock that still looks and runs great; union built with pride in Flint Michigan. Will my 2013 import deliver that kind of service? Probably not.
Oh and by the way, the idea for “Tequila, Hot Texas Girls and Tailgates” came from my Wife and Daughters…thanks girls.

Rhett May

Rhett May GRAMMY AWARD NOMINEE




Rhett a singer songwriter of immense talent….RAW…and with beautifully placed guitar riffs, amazing vocals and stellar song writing…Rhett’s music has a very different flavour to the current cookie-cutter rock music…or anything else around today.

Largely influenced by the classic songwriting of John Lennon, the Beatles, Pink Floyd and the Rolling Stones, Rhett May is a rock singer who has moulded his own unique sound over several decades in the industry.

With a musical career that spans back to the seventies when his band Lucifer supported legendary rock band Queen, Rhett May is a voice of experience in a rock world which has become increasingly shallow. He has toured the world, seen the music industry from the inside and watched the dark side of the business consume those around him. Throughout those experiences Rhett May continually turned away the excesses of the industry, choosing instead to write his own story as opposed to those who fell into the clutches of addiction.

Having spent a large part of his childhood in Calcutta, India, his guitar led songs are infused with the sounds of the Indian streets. By blending classic sensibilities with a twist of Indian culture he has created a string of upcoming singles, the first of which will be ‘Latex Lady’ to be released on July 29th off his new “Creatures of the Night” album which will street on 2nd September.
