The Kokomo Kings

The Kokomo Kings have earned a reputation for playing an uncompromising witches’ brew of assorted roots music, deeply rooted in old, rough-and-ready blues. They have been described as “more rock’n’roll than rock’n’roll” and “energy level 11”.

The Kokomo Kings have played at clubs and festivals in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Germany, Czechia, Austria, Switzerland, Spain, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Estonia and the UK.

In 2013, they released their debut album “Artificial Natural”, and the band quickly gained a reputation in blues and rock circles. In 2017, their second album “Too Good to Stay Away From” was released on the German record label Rhythm Bomb Records. The German magazine Blues News named it album of the month, and the American publication The Blues Junction named it the fifth-best album of the year. In 2018, they were nominated for best rockabilly band at the Ameripolitan Awards in Memphis, and later that year they won the “Band of the Year” award from England’s The Blues Lounge Radio Show.

In 2021, The Kokomo Kings’ fourth album "A Drive-By Love Affair" was released, and in 2022 they won The Blues Lounge Radio Show Awards for both “Entertainers of the year” and “Artist of the year”.

In 2025, the band’s fifth album “Turbomouth” was released
