From San Francisco
Richmond Kings
Blues and Rock and Roll
Al Morrow on guitar/vocals. Al has been playing in bands since his early teens. Since escaping from upstate New York in the late 70s, he has done duty in several San Francisco bands, including the Tacks, a 17-year stint with Johnny Kool & the Rattlesnakes, and some time with Roy Loney and the Phantom Movers. The Snakes also had a nice run as Loneys' backing band. Al has also played with many members of the Flamin' Groovies along the way. his influences include Chuck Berry, Keith Richards, the Blues greats Jeff Beck, and Alvin Lee. Although he has huge shoes to fill, Al is a welcome new addition to the rockin' Richmond Kings.
