on US TV show Jimmy Kimmel Live! and the ever-popular Neighbours,
performing at iconic venues and opening for stadium acts.
Now available for purchase five songs from the EP – ‘No Matter What’,
‘Rivers’, ‘I Do’, ‘World For Two’ and ‘Love the One You’re With’ – along with
new album track ‘Driver’s Seat’ were previously made available.

Get Ready To Rock Me Review: King Calaway have the songs to make a big impact based on the current popularity of all things country, plus being six photogenic young lads won’t hinder their cause either. Get past any reservations you may have over the boyband tag as King Calaway will be enjoyed anyone who enjoys memorable and melodic country flavoured pop/rock. ****
Music Ot Future.com Review: It carries you through such a huge
powerful journey of their music and grabs your attention in such a magical way.
With no set lead vocalist, it really creates a different dynamic to the album
but all fits together perfect. A road trip worthy album whether it’s down a
Nashville road or down a uk country road, this will not disappoint you.

(James
Daykin Lyric Magazine) King Calaway - ‘Driver’s Seat’: New album out
TODAY. Pop/country boyband. Slick production & massive harmonies. Way
heavier & rawer live if you get chance to see them. Talented guys - better
live than in studio for us.
Hailing
from America and Europe bandmates Caleb Miller, Chris Deaton, Simon
Dumas, Jordan Harvey, Chad Michael Jervis and Austin
Luther all pursued their own solo careers as musicians and singers, racking
up a long list of milestones — including CMA Awards performances, international
tours, session gigs, and BBC TV appearances — along the way. And one by one,
they all found their way to Nashville, drawn to the city by its rich, diverse
music scene.
There’s
no lead singer here. No singular star. Instead, Jordan, Chad and Simon all
share frontman duties, backed by rich, multi-part harmonies from Chris, Caleb
and Austin. The result is a layered vocal sound that nods to the band’s
influences, including the Eagles, Keith Urban, and Ed Sheeran. And just
like the Eagles, every member of King Calaway is also an adept, well-rounded
musician, from the guitar-playing Caleb — who became a professional studio
musician at 13 years old — to Austin, a highly trained bassist who toured the
world with multiple acts before joining King Calaway.
Simon first earned an audience at home in
Gibraltar, with his expressive piano playing and pop-oriented songwriting,
while Jordan — a Scottish multi-instrumentalist who played drums before
becoming one of King Calaway’s main vocalists — played packed shows in London,
Edinburgh, and beyond. And then there’s Chad, a lifelong vocalist whose past
includes theatre productions and cross-country gigs, as well as Chris, who
played drums for performances on the CMA Awards with artists such as Steven
Tyler and Jennifer Nettles before keeping time for King Calaway.

Working alongside co-producers Robert Deaton and Ross Copperman (who also penned several of the band’s songs), the band has recorded an album that allows their musicianship and personalities to shine through.
“We’re so excited to announce the release
of a record we’ve worked so hard on this past year” singer
and guitarist Chad Michael Jervis says of album. “With our
love and passion for making music, the title track mirrors who we want to be as
a group – ‘I know where
we belong, I know where we feel free. And it goes on and on, like rivers to the
sea’. We
hope our debut album inspires others the way our favourite albums have inspired
us.
