“Tennyson King played midway through the Peak Music Festival Saturday schedule and was an excellent transition from the quieter performers earlier in the day to the rocking blues in the evening. They provided well crafted original music performed with excellent musicianship and fully engaged the audience from start to finish. He will be welcomed back enthusiastically whether he comes as a solo act or as part of a larger performance”
