Jacob Houghtonโs perpetually melodic guitar phrases glide around Cerith Evansโ stoic low-end rumble and Cameron Macdougallโs deeply musical drum grooves. The clear-cut individuality in each of the musicians results in King Heronโs unapologetically different slant on the guitar trio form.
The group have shared stages with the likes of Oscar Jerome, Mdou Moctar and Lydian Collective, and performed at venues, clubs and arts centres across the UK. Their 2023 single โStasis (ft. Andrew Neil Hayes)โ marked their first collaboration with a guest appearance from the Run Logan Run tenor player, in a raucous exploration that excitedly reflects a โBristol soundโ. Following 2023โs two single releases, the trio have their second EP, โRisky Businessโ, set for release in September 2024.
King Heron are most at home on stage. Always groove-oriented with an emphasis on improvisation, their live performances are captivating with tunes taking their own path and never being played the same twice. At the heart of their live sound is a deep trust and connection between three friends exploring a new jazz impression together.
