A 26-year-old Grammy nominated innovative songwriter and performer, 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, keyboard player, and sax player Chris Spies — create a blistering, yet soulful unit that has honed their synergy through endless touring.

This year he launched a Signature Gibson custom guitar modeled after the ES-345 his grandfather used to play. From the start, Marcus earned rave reviews for his kinetic musicianship with The Washington Post describing him as a “guitar phenom.”
