David Pinsky started the Rhythm Kings in 1988 and has shared the stage with BB King, Bo Diddley, Elvin Bishop, Junior Walker, Otis Clay, Leon Russell, Tower of Power and many other notables.The Kings bring a mix of original and traditional blues to their shows taking you back to the clubs of Chicago and the juke joints of the Mississippi Delta.
The March 2008 release of “ Jump Everybody” , after a year's worth of writing recording and arranging, marked another chapter for his Rhythm Kings. Great solo performances and the addition of old and new Kings to the mix gave Pinsky national and international attention.
In November 2009 the Live disc "Live at the Bella" was pressed from a night in Jacksonville, Oregon's Bella Union Restaurant where everything was cooking for the Kings. "Gary and I mixed it down and we got 11 good tracks out. We wanted to release something that showed the excitement of what a live gig can be." You can hear a couple of cuts on the site.
The album is available at all gigs and from cd baby as well as other on line sources. The 2011 release of Nights of the Turntable is a compilation of 20 years of recording. It features cuts from the first Rhythm King release in 1994 and many other previously un heard recordings highlighting many of the great are musician Pinsky has played with.
Over the last 2 years David has been focusing more on solo and duo performances. You can see him play at many of the Southern Oregon Wineries where the intimate setting of tasting rooms leads to a more front porch style of blues. The Rhythm Kings still keep rockin' the Northwest and feature Gary Halliburton on keys, Billy Rock Smith on Drums, John Cates on Bass and Pinsky on Harp, Guitar, and Vocals
