Local teen sensation rocks Steinbach with spectacular debut concert

Steinbach was treated to quite a show on Tuesday night at K.R. Barkman Concerts in the Park with a local artist making his debut. 

17-year-old Louden King brought fans with him to the park and there were a lot of cameras to document the occasion. 

There was quite a crowd for Tuesday's concert, featuring Louden King as well as Beneath the Surface.

This young musician started drumming at age four, and then took up a second instrument. 

“I started playing guitar five years ago. That’s when I started writing my own music and stuff, listening to bands like Rush and Led Zepplin.”

Daniel Bonneteau, a friend and musician from Falcon Lake, joined King on stage for this special concert. 

“It’s a good time, it’s a great opportunity,” Bonneteau said after the concert. 

Louden King’s debut album, Supermassivity, was released on Spotify this past April.

These songs were crafted by Louden between the ages of 14 to 16, all the while learning the tools of the recording trade in his basement studio. -  www.manitobamusic.com
