The King's Busketeers are a high-octane folk & traditional band that began in the shady forest of King Richard's Faire in Carver, MA sometime in Fall of 2012. Sam and Andy met there and began playing together and amusing the patrons, and the following year Josh was inducted. The trio roamed the groves and shopfronts for a time, and grew to some popularity. After a time, they realized they had carved out a wonderful little new niche genre and gave it a name: party folk!
Since then, TKB have been rousing and entertaining the kindly citizens of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maine, Vermont, Connecticut, and New Hampshire with hearty, soulful, traditional tunes alongside wistful ballads, whimsical ditties about double homicides, and a hearty sprinkling of rollicking originals. Always energetic and full of equal parts sizzling talent and sparking chemistry, there's never a dull moment when the Busketeers are out in force.
