The Bent Kings: A 1960's Coming of Age Story of a British Blues-Rock and Roll Music Band, Historical Young Adult Romance, Racial Inequality

Tammy Lockamy

Take a trip back in time to experience the 'BRITISH MUSIC INVASION' of the 1960s!

In the bustling streets of Lansbury, England, a musical revolution is about to take place. Nineteen-year-old Johnny Bentley, a poet with a heart full of melodies, dreams of assembling the ultimate blues-rock band. With his childhood friend Mabel King, whose voice echoes with the soulful legacy of her Granny Gertie, and his cousin Olivia Rilley, whose violin wails like a fiddle possessed, Johnny sees the ingredients for greatness.

United under the banner of 'THE BENT KINGS', this band of hopefuls embarks on a journey into the heart of the sixties, where music pulses with the rhythm of change and possibility.

With Mabel's persuasive charm, they secure a coveted debut performance at Granny Gertie's esteemed restaurant, a legendary venue where dreams are born and stars are made.

As the lights dim and the crowd gathers, Johnny's heart pounds with excitement. With every chord and every lyric, The Bent Kings invite listeners to immerse themselves in the magic of an era defined by music, free love, and a longing for peace. With a prayer on his lips and a guitar in hand, Johnny knows that tonight, they'll either make history or fade into obscurity.

Join The Bent Kings on their wild ride through the swinging sixties, where dreams are chased, bonds are forged, and music reigns supreme!
