Chris Thomas King came into his own while expanding on traditional musical horizons that were inherited from his father, Tabby Thomas. Born and bred in the Delta tradition, King’s success as a bluesman was virtually guaranteed while he performed under the umbrella of his father’s genre. He grew up among the finest blues musicians in the genre at his father’s blues club and began touring with artists like Buddy Guy and B. B. King in his teens. His music was not only influenced by the blues, but by early hip-hop and country music, styles he fuses to create his own unique sound. To continue, please click “MORE”!

of presenters, promoters, talent buyers, educators, musicians and avid
fans. Over 5000 arts professionals will be in New York City for the
annual Association of Performing Arts Presenters (APAP) conference from

throughout the weekend around the city both at the Hilton Hotel and in
alternative venues, Winter Jazzfest offers APAP conference attendees,
and the general public, the opportunity to experience the best of
today’s new live jazz and experimental music in club venue settings.

festival experience with jazz and experimental music groups performing
all night at five of the neighborhood’s esteemed venues within close
proximity of each other. On this night the 2011 NYC WINTER JAZZFEST will
continue to redeem the rich jazz heritage of the Village and again will
