STARKVILLE, Miss.—The soulful harmonies of Kings Return will fill Lee Hall’s historic Bettersworth Auditorium on Oct. 4 as the Grammy-nominated acapella vocal group kicks off the 鶹AV Lyceum Series’ 76th season at 7 p.m.
The quartet—first gaining notoriety after barebones versions of “God Bless America” and “Ubi Cartis” sung in stairwells went viral—draws from R&B, jazz, gospel and pop influences. Reviewers have said the band of vocal brothers defy the constraints of a single genre and explore a myriad of sonic shades and textures.
After releasing a debut EP in 2021, Kings Return’s first full-length album, 2022’s “ROVE,” featured a cover of the Bee Gees’ song “How Deep Is Your Love,” which earned a Grammy nomination in the Best Arrangement Instrumental or Acapella category.
