Sioux City Kid started off in a basement listening to old Son House, Gram Parsons and Rolling Stones records trying to pick out the tunes. These early beginnings led to an obsession with the creation of songs that carried him all over the country soaking up every influence he could find. After spending a year playing around London he found himself back in his hometown of San Francisco where over the next year a 7 piece band came to fruition. This band brings an expansive knowledge and craft to the evolution of the songs and have continued to evolve by playing countless shows and recording. They are on tour in support of their first full length album, ‘Speak of the Devil, but Softly.’
Sioux City Kid has played at Shoreline Amphitheater, Great American Music Hall, and other venues around the SF Bay Area. They have also performed throughout Southern California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, where they recently played at the 2011 SXSW Festival.
