Combined they form King Canyon, blending their unique styles into an infectious groove filled project with healthy doses of R&B/Soul
and funk. The vibe will resonate with fans of Khruangbin, Bobby Caldwell, Allman Brothers, Soulive, Lettuce, El Michels Affair,
Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Menahan Street Band, Durand Jones and the Indications, and Son Little (who's featured on one of the
tracks).
In the perfect quarantine story the trio forged a relationship and has yet to meet in person. In April of 2020 in the midst of quarantine,
Eric Krasno came across Otis McDonald’s music on Instagram and immediately became a fan. Months later, McDonald who had been
working on music with his longtime friend, Mike Chiavaro, enlisted Krasno to add in some guitar to the mix and before they knew it, the
trio had an album's worth of material and thus King Canyon was born.
The guys have still yet to meet in person, but despite this, the grooves are insatiable. The writing and feel are unlike any other projects
these musicians have been involved with previously.
