The FrostKings Band Performance

The FrostKings, featuring Eric Heilner on keys, are an R&B, swing, and blues band originating from the North Jersey area. Familiar to music fans in Northern New Jersey and Southern New York State, the FrostKings have played many festivals and venues over the years. Equally at home playing swinging shuffles, slow blues or full-tilt boogies, their repertoire ranges from the West Coast swing stylings of Louis Jordan and T-Bone Walker, to the classic blues of Luther “Guitar Jr.” Johnson, B.B. King, Eddie “Clean Head” Vinson and Muddy Waters, to the R&B of Jackie Brenston and Otis Redding.

Today’s FrostKing’s performance will feature Eric Heilner on keyboards and his boogie-woogie roots. Eric plays blues, boogie, and rock & roll keyboards in his favorite local haunts in North Jersey. In January 2024 he represented the North Jersey Blues Society in the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tennessee. In addition, Heilner just released a new album of his unique interpretations of the blues piano tradition – Blues Phantasia – which is available on all popular streaming platforms.

If you’re not already a swing-blues fan, you will be after hearing their Icey-Cold tones. So chill out with the FrostKings!
