Artist Info: Jd King

JD King (or J. D. King) (born John David King in May 1951; died November 2025) was an American guitarist remembered for being a member of punk band The Coachmen.

After The Coachmen split, the band became known as JD King & The Coachmen (or J. D. King & The Coachmen), renamed to differentiate it from other bands, old and current, with the same name. The band name was King's idea in what is thought to be an ironic homage to a typical 1960s garage-rock band name. [read more...]
