Successful premiere of the Dukes & Kings!
The band Dukes & Kings offered its first official public performance on Friday, July 5th, at the Oasis du Vieux Palais de L’Assomption. Members of Dukes & Kings were eager to welcome blues-jazz-rock lovers, relatives and friends to this intimate place, with enchanting period decor and worthy of the Dukes and Kings!
From Steely Dan to Stevie Ray Vaughan
Dukes & Kings has played mostly known tunes that few cover bands play in Quebec, such as: Black Friday, Peg, Josie and Do It Again by Steely Dan; Saturday In The Park by Chicago; Georgy Porgy from Toto; Why’d You Lie of Colin James ; Land of Confusion from Genesis; You Better Believe It by Vintage Trouble; Cold Play clocks; a Queen mix (Bohemian Rhapsody / We Will Rock You / We Are The Champions); as well as Stevie Ray Vaughan (Tightrope, Look At Little Sister, Riviera Paradise); and many more.
As usual, the singer and keyboardist Jean-Marc Duquette ignited the audience with his talent, his passion and his intensity.
