Kingsfoil

Central PA’s Kingsfoil are one of Helen Leicht’s recent musical discoveries on the local scene. Fronted by the charismatic Jordan Davis, the four-piece released its latest album, On Our Own Together, in June.

Kingsfoil began as a duo in the early ’00s; Davis and guitarist/vocalist Tristan Martin released The Almond Tree EP in 2005. Joe Cipollini was later added on drums and in 2007 Tim Warren joined the group on bass. The songs from On Our Own Together are incredibly polished and catchy bring to mind the musical likes of Coldplay and The Fray.

Enjoy this free song compliments of the band. And check them out during their next local performance on Sept. 3 at World Cafe Live.
