The Philosopher Kings

About The Philosopher Kings:

Two decades ago, The Philosopher Kings took the Canadian music industry by storm with their infectious melodies, undeniable energy and a unique combination of pop and alternative rock. Winning a Juno Award in 1996 for Best New Group and landing on the U.S. Top 40 chart that same year with the hit single Charms, the band criss-crossed the country, becoming one of the most sought after and popular live acts on the circuit.

In 2006, the band took a hiatus as the members of the group became busy with individual producing and recording projects. Fast forward to 2017, The Philosopher Kings have reunited with a renewed energy, revitalized focus – and brand new material. Fans of the band will get a chance to once again hear the eminently memorable, groove-infused songs that made them a live event favourite, including I Am the Man, Cry, Hurts to Love You, and Castles in the Sand, along with some new favourites.

The band’s lineup is comprised of long-time members Gerald Eaton (vocals), drummer Denton Whited, keyboardist Jon Levine and guitarists James Bryan and Brian West. The talented quintet has been sequestered in their rehearsal space honing their live show, but also composing and recording hotly anticipated new material. As busy and fulfilled as they are with their individual careers, the call from fans to return to The Philosopher Kings fold could no longer be resisted and the band members are thrilled to be able to bring their songs, their superior showmanship and their invigorating live shows back to stages worldwide.
