The Secret Kings + Musician in Bridgman, MI

SEEKING

ABOUT

The Secret Kings are a Midwest based band formed in the fall of 2007 by longtime friends Johnny Sellers, recently left band, John Kenny, and brothers Tony and Chris Bush.
The Secret Kings began their collaborative work later that year slowly whittling out the songs that would become their first album, Sonitus. After braving the studio on their own The Kings finally released Sonitus worldwide early in 2010, and are now hoping they will have the opportunity to share their music with the world. Recently have played shows in Chicago, Indiana and Michigan.
