Chris Daniels and the Kings with Freddi Gowdy
Chris Daniels & The Kings mark their 40th Anniversary in 2024 with a new album due out in June. The KINGS formed in 1984 and produced their first album in 1985. Since that beginning the Kings have released 19 albums, performed in Europe 21 times and played for three Presidents, The Queen of Holland, and at Festivals and concerts from Rome to New York and venues from LA to Switzerland. In 2010, Freddi Gowdy of the Freddi-Henchi Band joined forces with Chris & The Kings creating a show with two inductees into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame (Chris and Freddi). Together they’ve released three albums including 2022’s “What We Did.” CD&K with Freddi and Hazel Miller.
Chris Daniels was a co-nominee for a Grammy Award in 2013 and is a two-time “Excellence in Teaching” award winning professor at CU Denver for the past 20 years. He served as the Director of the Colorado Music Hall of Fame from 2018 to 2020. Chris also served as the Director of Swallow Hill Music in the early part of this century (that’s why they call their concert hall “Daniels Hall”) and he is also a cancer survivor and the MC of the Telluride Bluegrass Festival since 2014.
