Poetry for a King was created in July 2007 . The four members live in rural central Texas but the band originated in Manchaca. They pursue a solid Christian rock genre but at times will back off to the sweet sounds of mellow piano chords and echoing blues guitar licks. These deeply intimate songs sung and written by Carl Harper put their listeners in a reflective mood of praise, but keeps their audiences dancing and swaying. In July 2008 they released their first 5-track EP, simply titled “Poetry for a King”. The band has played at local church services, small music venues and youth festivals almost every chance possible over the last year. They opened a show for the Stillpoint Band CD release party at the Nutty Brown Cafe on May 25, 2008 for a crowd of 800 people. With new songs on the way in the studio in the fall of 2008, these poets are ready to introduce themselves to a larger audience. From guitar lines and drum riffs that are relaxing to the soul, to passionate driving vocals with harmonies, Poetry for a King inspires you to stand up, let go and feel the love.
