Biography

Two decades ago, The Philosopher Kings took the Canadian music industry by storm with their infectious melodies, undeniable energy and a unique combination of pop and alternative rock. 
 Winning a Juno Award in 1996 for Best New Group and landing on the U.S. Top 40 chart that same year with the hit sing le Charms, the band criss-crossed the country, becoming one of the most sought after and popular live acts on the circuit. 
 Fast forward to 2018, The Philosopher Kings have reunited with a renewed energy, revitalized focus – and brand new material. Fans of the band will get a chance to once again hear the eminently memorable, groove-infused songs that made them a live event favourite, including I Am the Man, Cry, Hu rts to Love You, and Cas tles in the Sand, as well as some new favourites. 
 The band’s recording career began with its self-titled debut in 1994, which spawned t he hit single Charms, with the album eventually earning Gold status in Canada. Their commercial, critical and popular breakthrough occurred with the release of the second Philosopher Kings’ album, Famo us, Rich and Beautiful in 1997, which was certified Platinum. 
 As busy and fulfilled as they are with their individual careers, the call from fans to return to The Philosopher Kings fold could no longer be resisted and the band members are thrilled to be able to bring their songs, their superior showmanship and their high-octane, invigorating live shows to stages worldwide.
