Chris King - Lead vocals for The Chris King Band:
Chris King grew up in Milwaukee, until moving to Dallas before his senior high school year. Singing since age 6 with the church choir, he received lots of encouragement from his family and his grandmother, who was a well-known opera singer.
He graduated from the University of Texas at Austin, where he studied music theory and sang with a very successful band named Crosswind. He then worked for a Manhattan jingle house in New York City doing music for commercials. He later left New York and was a DJ in Dallas for many years, but it wasn't until he moved to Denver that he rediscovered how much he enjoyed making people smile with his own music.
Denver became his home in 1995 where he joined his father's business, the Queen Anne B&B. Chris started the band Southern Cactus in 1998 to do what he loved most, singing. His
parents and his brother, Dave, have been his motivation to keep moving forward and find more ways to keep people happy by writing more music of his own.
Chris has booked the band all over the state of Colorado, including the last 4 years in the Taste of Colorado and an invitation to open for Diamond Rio. As the lead vocalist, Chris can sing all types of music, but prefers country rock and classic rock n roll. Chris has recently retired the Southern Cactus band and started up The Chris King Band with happily some of the best musicians in all of Colorado.
Robyn Pollard has been playing keyboard instruments since the age of
6. Her training is a combination of classical, jazz and pop. She has many years experience playing jazz standards in piano bars in the ski resorts of Colorado and at many of the fine restaurants and clubs up and down the Front Range.
Robyn is equally at home playing jazz and classical on a full-sized grand piano, playing honky-tonk / barrelhouse /stride-key on an old upright, and creating Eurotrash synthpop on a Korg Triton.
An in demand musician playing weddings, church services, jams, clubs, and showcases, she is a well-seasoned player who can fulfill almost any entertainment need.
