Kings Return: a “vocal band of brothers.” The Dallas, Texas-based a cappella group was formed unintentionally in 2016 after first singing together for one of the member’s college graduation recital. Their sound is proudly born out of Gospel, Jazz, R&B/Soul and Classical music and their popularity grew when they began posting videos to social media from the stairwell where they rehearse.
Their genre-breaking arrangements soar, dip, and harmonize with exquisite grace. To date they have amassed almost 10 million views across all platforms, recognized by artists and brands like Emily King, Anita Baker, Anthony Anderson, Joyce DiDonato, Apple, NPR, and Dallas Morning News.
Plus join us for a ‘Merry Little Mixer’ at 4pm before the show - Drinks, refreshments, and holiday cheer!
