Vulture Wake debut "Red"

Midwest Rockers A Vulture Wake debut "Red" the first single off their upcoming ‘Kingdom’ EP Out June 10

Midwest Rockers A Vulture Wake hit harder, darker and more soulful on the ‘Kingdom’ E.P., their sophomore effort and first of two releases slated for 2022 - Produced, Engineered & Mixed by Mike Kennerty (Direct Hit, Red City Radio, The Copyrights) and lauded as sounding “exactly how I thought it would sound” by Fat Michael Burkett.

‘Kingdom’ - out June 10, 2022 - is lyrically dystopian while building a feeling of hope and victory - all under the mantra of “Do No Harm; Take No Shit.”

He is among the highest-energy blues entertainers on the scene." Billboard said he played "blistering, modern blues-rock, bristling with galvanizing guitar and forceful vocals."

Sat on the stage at the iconic Victorian building, singer-guitarist Chris Robertson pauses, looks around and says, "When you're a kid, and you see your heroes' playing places, and then all of a sudden you find yourself sitting on the stage, it's pretty emotional.
