Chris Daniels and The Kings
Chris Daniels is no joke when it comes to talent within a musician. He has a strong sense of humor and seems to really be the voice for the band. Yes he is the lead singer but he is also much more than that because he was constantly communicating to all of his friends "The Kings" and giving them energy and feedback throughout the show. In addition this man is strong, because for nine months he struggled with Leukemia and got right back up on stage after his struggle, which is quite an inspiration.
Chris Daniels has played with some of the most influential musicians, a few of which include B.B. King, Uncle Cracker, Blues Traveler, Sonny Landreth, Sam Bush, Bela Fleck, David Bromberg, Bill Payne, Don Was, The Neville Brothers, Delbert McClinton, Sister Hazel, Sheryl Crow, Robert Cray, Taj Mahal, Al Cooper, Bonnie Raitt, Ziggy Marley, The Fixx, and many others.
Here is a little history about Chris Daniels, because he deserves to have mention of his background. As soon as he appeared on stage I know that this man had seen a few things- good or bad, he is a traveling observer as most musicians are. Daniels started in the 70s as a songwriter and guitarist when he was seventeen years old. At that time he was playing with David Johansen before Johansen was a part of The New York Dolls and also with Russel Smith. At an early age he got his fix for music and has not stopped ever since. There is something about music that makes everyone forget about the hard times.
