"The Duke and the King is an alliance of Simone Felice of the Felice Brothers and his longtime friend (and sometime George Clinton collaborator) Robert "Chicken" Burke, along with a highly talented cast of others. They have pulled off a quite remarkable feat on Nothing Gold Can Stay - each song somehow sounding like a classic, each live performance suggesting we are in the presence of a rare, fiery brilliance."

THE DUKE & THE KING are a soul-folk-glam ensemble from the sticks of New York founded by Simone Felice ‘Duke of Galilee’ and Bobbie Bird Burke ‘King’, featuring the sensational Simi Stone and Zach Alford. And like any travelling theatre troupe there’s bound to be a growing cast of extraordinary characters.

Named after the travelling Shakespeare hustlers in ‘The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn’, these curious band of rebels/rabble have found an unexpected home together, a floating raft adrift on a river of chance, a travelling church of harmony and sin where its okay to french kiss your cousin and all strays are welcome to come out of the cold and sing along to these songs of love, loss, pathos, and hope.

In just a short time since the release of their debut album The Duke & The King have garnered a barrage of international acclaim, earning comparisons to some of pop history’s most hallowed acts, from Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young to Smokey Robinson, Donavan, Sly & the Family Stone and Simon & Garfunkel.
