Marcus King Band to Play the Fox Theatre This August

Marcus King Band will play the Fox Theatre on August 9th, 2016. Doors: 8:30 pm | Show: 9:00 pm. Tickets on sale May 6th - $7 early or $12.50 general admission.

Young six-string virtuoso and songwriter Marcus King's debut album, Soul Insight, displays his stunning command of rock, blues, psychedelia, funk, soul and improvisation -- all with a distinctly Southern musical accent. It also brings the 19-year-old a step closer to his musical destiny.

"I guess I knew I was born to play guitar when I was seven," King says. "That's when I got my first electric guitar, and while all the other kids were outside playing, I'd be inside on that guitar. When I got in trouble in school, my daddy said I could choose between a spanking and getting my guitar taken away for a week. I took the spanking."

Soul Insight is the explosive result of that dedication, magnified by another dozen years and more than a thousand nights playing in clubs -- initially alongside his father, bluesman Marvin King -- since the age of 11, just two years before Marcus formed his own group and stepped into the role of leader.
