delicious music. I love the colorful arrangement and ood time rythm. the word finesse comes to mind ;)

Truly fantastic. I love the style of the music. The trombone is so moving in this. Amazing song!

this song is so creative. love the melody, I've never heard anything like it. the instrumentals in this song almost remind me of an Irish rock song. is that weird? haha, keep doing what you're doing. I love it!

Catchy beautiful melody. Needless to say, very professional production with  traditional instruments. Everything sounds great.

I've only played this track 50 times  - guess I'd better buy it!

Needless to say - you are extremely talented.  Good song!

Our self-titled debut album was released on October 25, 2011!

Good King Friday, named after the character from the show Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, formed after members of the avant-garde classical group the Los Angeles New Music Ensemble played a show at Spaceland in Silverlake, CA, met up with some long-lost friends, and got down to writing some serious symphonic rock. After seven months of slaving away at writing, arranging, and producing their first album, GKF has something that they hope puts a little extra beauty into the world.

At the album's heart are the connections within the band. Canadian Patrick and Chicagoan Audrey met Los Angeles girl Christina playing rough-and-thorny classical music together at the University of Oklahoma. Christina introduced them her L.A. childhood friends, siblings Kelly and Chris. Kelly, Chris, Christina, and Nathan had attended high school together in Valencia, California, and, after crossing paths for the first time in years at that show in Silverlake, Nathan and Kelly were married to each other a little over a year later. As the band grew author Matt Kolbet, Nathan’s brother-in-law, joined the ranks with his dynamic and thought-provoking lyrics.

Each song on the album sways and shakes to the tune of a dozen different influences filtered through late-night rehearsals and later-night conversations until they all speak with the same unique voice. Arrangements and lyrics and choruses were sent back and forth over email until each song was fully documented through hummed parts, midi takes, scores, scratch tracks, and email chains. All these puzzle pieces and bits of sound and verse came together to make this album something beautiful and new.
