The band's story began in a dimly lit jazz club where bass lines throbbed against the walls and saxophones wailed into the night. It was there that Sid Kingston was conceived, the enigmatic sorceress with a penchant for vintage sounds. Their musical chemistry was undeniable, and they quickly realized they shared a vision: to create a sound that was both a nod to the funk legends of the past and a bold step into the future of the genre.

They recruited the best of Chicago's underground scene: a guitarist with a razor-sharp funk edge, a drummer with beats that could shake the El tracks.  Together, they became Sid Kingston, a name that would soon be synonymous with Chicago's freshest funk.
