What has been said about Brian Templeton?

“Brian Templeton is one of the most talented vocalists to come along in quite a while. His combination of power and conviction along with unerring pitch and a swinging and flexible sense of time makes his delivery truly stand out, and his dynamic stage presence makes him a "must see" live.” Jerry Portnoy-Harmonica Master 8 years with Muddy Waters . Founder and recently recorded (From the Cradle) and performed worldwide as a member of Eric Clapton’s Blues Band

` “The depth and intensity apparent in Templeton’s vocals are not the qualities of a mere imitator. His voice has a beefed-up, muscular character that’s grown immensely since the bands early days.” Art Tipaldi-Blues Revue Magazine

“The center of attention is singer Brian Templeton, who proves that showmanship needn’t compromise soulful expression. His big barrel-chested baritone and complementary harmonica allow him to cover old tunes with unusual ease and authority. Templeton never sounds as if he’s reaching beyond his grasp. In short, he knows what he’s doing.” Mike Joyce-The Washington Post

“Templeton sings as full as a prairie sunset. His voice is extremely expressive, with a heavy, tarnished quality tailored for blues or country Marc Levy-The Boston Phoenix

“Templeton delivers song that belies a Bay State upbringing. The listener suspects he spent time around Chicago or Austin, Texas.” Scott McLennan-Telegram & Gazette

“The best front-man in Boston.” Greg Sarni- Pres. Blues Trust Productions and promoter of the Boston Blues Festival

“Brian Templeton loves to sing the blues live. And it shows!” Marie Lingblom- The Woburn Advocate

Brian Templeton
“Boston’s Big Blue Belter”

As co – founder and front man of the Boston based Radio Kings for 8 years; Brian Templeton has made a name for himself as a powerful singer, skilled harmonica player and a new force in songwriting.

Fondatore e leader dei RADIO KINGS per 8 anni, Brian si è costruito una solida reputazione solista dal 1999 (da quando il gruppo si è sciolto) per essere un potente cantante baritono, un fantastico armonicista e un grande autore, tanto da meritarsi il titolo di “ The Boston Best Blues front men”. Nel 2000, dopo i tre cd realizzati con i RADIO KINGS, Brian ritorna instudio per il cd “Home” per la Stone Cold Records,accompagnato da un manipolo di musicisti dell’area di Boston tra cui spicca il chitarrista prodigio MIKE MONSTER WELCH (in questa occasione anche nelle vesti di produttore). Il cd viene accolto entusiasticamente dalla critica americana ed europea.Recentemente Brian ha girato come cantante nella band di JAMES COTTON, e nel gruppo di KID BANGHAM (il chitarrista dei FABULOUS THUNDERBIRDS e di SUGAR RAY & THE BLUETONES), ma la cosa che più lo fa grande è la sua abilità nell’intrattenere la platea, e come lo stesso Brian dice“…non penso a me stesso come ad un musicista, ma come ad uno showmen”. La sua enfasi nel coinvolgere l’audience è elettrizzante fino a farla ballare e cantare seguendo il ritmo; risultato: una legione di fans.
