In the pop world perhaps, test tube boy bands are birthed onto the scene on a regular basis. Understand, this is new territory for country music. And get this, they will be hopscotching hundreds of more worthy entertainers in a few weeks to make their live debut in no other than the hallowed circle at the Grand Ole Opry. The group has just signed a major label deal with Nashville’s Broken Bow Records on their Stoney Creek imprint. ![]() Yet despite this complete lack of experience or tangible sound, King Calaway has landed opportunities many country performers work years at to still not be afforded. There’s absolutely nothing tangible behind King Calaway at the moment aside from a press release and a batch of promotional photos. ![]() There’s not even grainy cell phone footage from some private gig they played a few months back. There’s no acoustic demo to get a taste of what they’re all about. There’s no music via streaming networks to search for. There are no videos on YouTube of King Calaway. Unfortunately though, the world has yet to hear a single lick of music from this band. Okay, but what does King Calaway actually sound like? Are they any good? That’s a very good question. But according to a now well-circulated press release, we know they’re a six-member “country” music group who despite big promises about their “incredible individual talent” and “amazing group chemistry,” have absolutely no touring or performing experience together whatsoever, and appear to have never even played a live gig in front of an actual crowd. Up until a couple of days ago, there was absolutely no information about this project entered into the public record whatsoever. Who or what is “King Calloway” you ask? Never heard of them? That’s okay, nobody has. Looking for yet another reason to be embarrassed as a country music fan? Well here comes King Calaway.
