Marcus King faces heartache, addiction and mental health head-on in his music. The Grammy Award-nominated, fourth generation musician from South Carolina started playing guitar at eight years of age, following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather. Logging thousands of miles on the road as “The Marcus King Band,” he established himself with unparalleled performance prowess. During 2020, he linked up with Dan Auerbach and cut his solo debut “El Dorado,” garnering a Grammy Award nomination for “Best Americana Album.” Between headlining venues, he performed alongside Chris Stapleton, Greta Van Fleet and Nathanial Rateliff in addition to gracing the bills of Stagecoach.
He has launched various mental health initiatives, including a guitar auction collaboration with MusiCares. In his 2024 album, "Mood Swings," Marcus King delivers a raw and cathartic musical experience under the guidance of legendary producer Rick Rubin. The album shifts the spotlight to his vocals, with his iconic guitar taking on a supporting role, although still delivering impressive moments of shredding. Doors open at 7 p.m.
