- King Wilkie is an American music group formed in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2002 by Reid Burgess and Ted Pitney. While their early sound was commonly filed under bluegrass, King Wilkie has developed a more eclectic acoustic style, drawing from other influences, such as Folk and Americana Music. After releasing a debut album on Rebel Records, they released Low Country Suite in 2007 on Zoe/Rounder Records. Low Country Suite was produced by engineer Jim Scott, well known for his work with Rick Rubin, Tom Petty, and the Dixie Chicks. The group since have relocated to New York City and undergone several personnel changes. The band's music has become a collaboration between various musicians and Burgess has remained the only constant member. The band has toured extensively throughout the U.S. , Canada and Europe. Appearances on NPR, Levon Helm's Midnight Ramble, and The Grand Ole Opry, combined with festival performances and radio airplay fueled the band's popularity, eventually resulting in their album Low Country Suite climbing into the top 20 on the Billboard charts for Americana music. On April 28, 2009, King Wilkie released King Wilkie Presents: The Wilkie Family Singers, an expansive concept album on the newly-minted Casa Nueva label. Consisting of songs written and recorded by the fictional Wilkie family as part of a music therapy program devised by the mysterious Dr. Art, it is their most wide-ranging and ambitious project yet. The album features a core sound of rickety old-time American music, embroidered with Salvation Army brass, quirky melodies, and an almost cinematic sense of scope. It also features special guests Robyn Hitchcock, David Bromberg, Peter Rowan and others.
