  • Bio

    .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ............ .. ......http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DldLfEH-rk...... .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. KingniK, often referred to as the “Sonny and Cher of the ukulele set”, is Nikki “Ukulele Jones”, on ukulele and washboard, and “Curtis King” Chamberlain on ukulele, musical saw and kazoo. KingniK formed 5 years ago as an offshoot to the short lived ukulele trio Red Poppy (you can see their hit song “Hey, Red Poppy” at http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=csawking recorded at the National Kazoo Day event in 2005.) KingniK brings fun to show and leaves everyone smiling and singing an old familiar tune or two. Sharing vocals and playing songs that span most of the twentieth century, there’s something for everyone from 2 to 102 to enjoy.

    Here's a video that was captured of me offering my bottleneck slide
    interpretation of an old blues song, Goin' T' Brownsville, on open mic
    night at Old Strokers in Everett, WA. It starts out with me briefly
    introducing my homemade "Nobro" resophonic guitar and explaining some
    of the various recycled garage sale junk that I used in it's
    construction. Enjoy!

    "Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
    Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)

    Promotional Video(My Girl From The South Sea Isles)

    "The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
