Evansville, IN– Marcus King faces heartache, addiction, and mental health head-on in his music. Pain quakes below thevibrato of his voice, and his delivery weighs heavy with booze-drenched regrets and mistakes in lonelyhotels.The GRAMMY® nominated fourth generation musician from Greenville, SC, started playing guitarat 8-years-old following in the footsteps of his guitarist Father and Grandpa. Logging thousands of mileson 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 debutEl Dorado, garnering a GRAMMY®Award nomination for “Best Americana Album.”Between headlining venues, he performed alongsideChris Stapleton, Greta Van Fleet, and Nathanial Rateliff in addition to gracing the bills of Stagecoach andmore. He has launched various mental health initiatives, including a guitar auction collaboration withMusiCares. Now, his 2024 albumMood Swingsfeels like the moment of baptism when water washesaway a life’s worth of sins and degradation and all that’s left is a revived, yet still real-as-hell primalscream. It’s as if King strained raw soul straight from his gut up through that broken heart andon to therecord under the watchful eye of Rick Rubin. Emphasizing his vocals front-and-center more than everbefore, the trusty guitar he’s so often associated with plays the sideman this time around(thoughthere’s no shortage of impressive shredding). For as dark as everything seemed, you can’t help but feel asense of hope in the power of Marcus’s voice.
