In 2015, Gideon King & City Blog (GKCB) released a full-length CD, City Blog. The music was met with wide critical acclaim, with the Huffington Post calling King a “musical genius.”
Having worked for years in establishing a reputation as a rising force in the New York music scene, King has worked with John Scofield, members of Steely Dan, and many other musical giants.
GKCB released another full length album in October 2018.
The release features John Scofield, Marc Broussard, Grace Weber, Nate Smith, Conrad Sewell, Donny McCaslin, Brendan Fletcher, Sonny Step, James Genus, Elliott Skinner, Luques Curtis, Carolyn Leonhart, Kevin Hays, Donald Edwards, Matt Powell, Willard Dyson, Vivian Sessoms, Roslyn McClure, Mike Rodriguez, Adrian Harpham, Nathan Peck, Kate Kay Es, Bryan Reeder, Seamus Blake, Itai Kriss Music, Alex Sipiagin, Bruce Flowers, Liam Budge, Mike Stephenson and David Kahne. Gideon and his team have played extensively in New York City to promote the release.
Vinyl Chapters commented about the album, “There are not many bands around these days with that Steely Dan-esque sound, but Gideon King and City Blog pull it off here, bringing it bang up to date with a great record that stands out amongst the crowd”
GKCB sold out the City Winery venue twice and hosted multiple Saturday late night sessions at the Blue Note.
The band currently plays venues such as Brooklyn Bowl and Joe’s Pub and the music enjoys roughly 750,000 streams on Spotify and growing each day.
In addition to playing New York hotspots, GKCB also curates and perform at various Sofar Sounds shows. GKCB music videos on Youtube are growing in popularity with some videos nearing 100000 views.
In 2019, GKCB has released three singles.
The first single, “Lady of a Thousand Sorries,” has over 350,000 steams on Spotify. The second, “Audience of One” features Elliot Skinner, formally of the band Third Story. King’s latest release, “Burning Through” is accompanied by a hauntingly beautiful music video that has over 20,000 views in its first few weeks.
