Michael Weston King is a musician who first cut his musical teeth performing in different post-punk groups on the late 1970s and early 1980s Liverpool, England music scene. After being inspired by a new wave of musicians in the 1980s who were pioneering a unique alternative country sound, King went on to join forces with other musicians with like minded tastes and form Gary Hall and The Stormkeepers. Eventually King felt the trappings of group confines and struck out on his own to record his alternative folk-centric debut LP, The King's Highway, in 1997.
