Deft and dynamic, King Baby's sound is a balancing act: Earthy R&B, simmering soul, percolating funk, and a jazz-spiked improvisational bent coexist and cross pollinate, with original vocal and instrumental compositions as the fulcrum. What is now King Baby's lineup - Rick Lollar (guitar and vocals), Matt Slocum (keyboards), Kevin Scott (bass), and Mark Raudabaugh (drums) - began coalescing in 2014 and 2015. King Baby's debut album, 'The Big Galoot', captures the band in full flight across a program of Lollar originals and band collaborations.
