The band is made up of four friends who all appreciate music in their own way, coming together and showing everyone  how music is suppose to sound, when played together properly.

The lead singer and bassist, Cam Patterson, is the most recent musician, with only a year experience under his belt, that is not stopping him from performing like he has played since he was a kid.

Next are the two guartarists, Doug Brenton and Colton Scott, both musicians have been playing their wholes lives and find endless joy with guitar at hand.

Last but not least, Rob MacPhee, rocks the drums and has been for many years. Rob began his drumming career after the movie “School of Rock” came out. He claims that him and his brother were both watching the movie and decided to pursue music, after his brother took up the guitar first, he decided to take the drums out for a try, later falling involve with the sound.

“I guess I would describe our sound, we are more of a rock group, I see us kind of gravitating more towards like the newer rock stuff like Artic Monkeys and Greta Van Fleet, but we all really like Led Zeppelin too so there is always that tie in to the old stuff” – Rob MacPhee

This new group of musicians are very excited to begin creating and producing their own music together as a band. Their goal is to have an original song out within the next year, and in the future, have a complete album finished as a unit. “Kings County” will be looking for new gigs to perform at shortly, so if rock and roll is your taste in music, maybe you will be the first to see their band rock the night away at a local bar!
