Album: Meet Me In Memphis | Official Website: | Listen & Download:
Based out of Indiana, King Bee & The Stingers are a tight five-piece unit who combine soul, Chicago and Delta blues into a package that demonstrates why they’ve been International Blues Challenge semi-finalists on two occasions.
Led by harp player/vocalist Mark “King Bee” Menefee, the Stingers formed in 2007, went through several personnel changes and released one EP previously as a tie-in to the IBCs. The band came into their own in 2014 with the addition of Menefee’s lead vocalist daughter, Sarah, a warm, full-bodied, melismatic alto who sounds far more mature than her age.
Joining the Menefees on the stage are veteran guitarist D.K. Buchanan, bassist Ken Meadows and percussionist Buddy Mitchell. They’re assisted here by Tom Clark on horns, Slats King on Hammond B3 organ and Mona Skirvin on harmonics. And lead guitar duties on the title cut are handled by Mary Druin.
“We don’t play traditional 1-4-5, 12-bar blues, says Sarah, who notes: “We don’t try to emulate any one blues sound or tradition. We just let it flow naturally.”
