Lucas & King are a truly exciting new young duo emerging from Southampton. Songs of exceptional craft and depth pull influence from classic folk and American roots flavours, delivered with the spine-tingling, unforgettable voice of Bo Lucas and perfectly judged guitar accompaniment from Hayleigh King. Yet to release their debut album, the band have already toured as support to Ray Davies (The Kinks) and played the coveted Glastonbury Acoustic Stage and Avalon Main stage as well as the Royal Festival Hall.
'Lucas & King's blend of rootsy Americana and minimalist folk combines velvet-smooth vocals with a charismatic fragility to spine-tingling effect'. The Argus
