Enjoy free live music on the Broadway Plazas.

Gideon King & City Blog (GKCB) is a dynamic New York City-based collective that seamlessly blends soul, pop, jazz, and rock into a sophisticated yet accessible sound. Founded by guitarist, composer, and producer Gideon King, the band emerged in 2015 with their critically acclaimed debut album, City Blog, which earned praise from outlets like the Huffington Post, who dubbed King a “musical genius.” Drawing inspiration from the vibrant streets of his native NYC, King crafts impressionistic songs with complex chord progressions, abstract lyrics, and a fusion of genres reminiscent of Steely Dan, Goose, Stevie Wonder, and Pat Metheny. In April 2025, they released “The Thrill Is Gone,” the first single from their anticipated covers album, showcasing their ability to reimagine classics with fresh, soulful flair. With more releases planned, Gideon King & City Blog remains a vital force in the modern music landscape, reflecting the grit and glamour of New York City while resonating with fans of thoughtful, boundary-pushing music.
