MarcusKingBandVEVO
A 23-year-old guitar phenom and innovative songwriter, Marcus King can simultaneously switch from swaggering rock to supersonic soul, having written songs and performing onstage for half his lifetime. All five members of the band—drummer Jack Ryan, bass player Stephen Campbell, trumpeter/trombonist Justin Johnson, sax player Dean Mitchell and the keyboard player—create a blistering, yet soulful unit that has honed their synergy through endless touring.
As a fourth generation musician, Marcus earned rave reviews from the start with The Washington Post describing him as a “guitar phenom” at age 20, in addition to critical acclaim from the likes of VICE, Noisey, NPR and Rolling Stone, who described him as an “electrifying rock performer.”
Marcus King continues to re-write his fast moving & surprising story. You can hear change in the wisdom of his lyrics and deeply soulful vocals, bringing sheer musical command to every performance.
