Being the blues singing daughter of B.B. King has earned Shirley King the title "Daughter of the Blues," but she is an outstanding singer & performer in her own right. "I grew up around the stage watching my dad become famous, but I never imagined I'd become a blues singer too." Ms. King came late to the blues, first trying it on in 1990. Within six months, she was a regular performer at Kingston Mines. Two years later her first CD, "Jump Through My Keyhole" was released on the GBW label. She has toured the U.S., Canada, Italy & France. Shilrey has sung at major clubs and festivals world-wide. She has performed with B.B. King, Bobby Bland, Albert King, Little Milton, Tyrone Davis, Otis Clay, Jerry Butler, Koko Taylor, Lonnie Brooks, Eddie Clearwater & others.
Shirley and her band specialize in high energy blues, soul, R&B, disco, gospel and good old fashioned rock 'n roll. From traditionals to originals, her singing and stage antics will fire you up. Shirley rocks the house whether it's a black tie affair, corporate or on-campus event, fest or niteclub.
