Rising Young Blues Band, The Marcus King Band, To Play Mississippi Studios
The Marcus King Band combines rock, funk, blues, and Jazz into a perfect melodic blend. Led by 20-year-old phenom Marcus King, a gifted songwriter and performer, the band operates within a fiery brand of American roots that King calls “soul-influenced psychedelic Southern rock.” King plays a variety of guitars, from acoustic to electric, to pedal and lap steel, while driving each song home with his soulful, incendiary voice.
The Marcus King Band features Jack Ryan on drums and percussion, Stephen Campbell on bass, Matt Jennings on keys and organ, Dean Mitchell on saxophone, and Justin Johnson on trumpet, trombone and backing vocals. They are currently touring on the release of their second album, The Marcus King Band. This new release includes collaborations with both Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes.
Quickly becoming one of the most sought-after live acts on the circuit today, The Marcus King Band will be performing at Mississippi Studios, 3939 N Mississippi Avenue, on Tuesday, July 25. Tickets are $15.00 in advance at TicketFly.com or $17.00 at the door day of show for this 21 & over event. The venue is mostly standing room with limited seating in the balcony. Show time is 9:00 pm.
