Marcus King

What a fabulous night of music! Marcus King and his band are so versatile, just bursting with musicality and his voice is out of this world impressive. It was such a pleasure to experience this musical treat in such a perfect venue (the Orpheum Theatre). I first heard him on Playing for Change where he, along with others, performed The Weight. Thus began my enjoyment of Marcus King’s music. He is a true musician; versatile, creative, soulful, entertaining, rooted in all good things musical. Thank you for bringing him to Vancouver!

I've been wanting to see MKB for a while and finally got my chance at Montgomery Performing Arts Center and he did not disappoint! The 3 people I took with me had no idea who Markus was and were blown away! He did a nice little 3 song acoustic thing about 2/3 of the way in that was impressive. His Slide guitar and keyboard player were top notch. Played for 1:55. We were all raving about MKB on the way home to Opelika! 5 STARS!

Last time I was in the Continental Club, I was there to see Stevie Ray Vaughan. This time I was there to see Marcus King!! Folks, it just doesn’t get any better than that! Marcus King is an amazing young man and guitar player extraordinaire! An old soul for sure! He put on a great show that we will never forget! We had a blast! Shout out to Dianne Scott and Darci Carlson of the Continental Club. You ladies made our night special! Thank you both! Rock On and Peace!

New to Marcus King Band and at the last minute bought tickets at the venue while seeing Larkin Poe & Kaleo. Markus King is one of our top concerts this year!!! He is an incredibly gifted musician with a smokey, soulful voice that will not disappoint. Musicians in his band are also very talented and the drummer was exceptionally gifted. Don’t miss them if they come through your town

One of my favorites right now and he didn’t disappoint. Best concert i have ever went to. Marcus is one of the most talented artist I have ever seen! His voice is incredible and is playing is out of this world! Not only is Marcus King amazing but his bands is fantastic! He also came out in the freezing cold and rain and took pictures and signed for us who waited! One of the nicest people ever! Thanks for the memories!

No support act. Doors open at 7pm and he wasn’t on until 8.30. We would have gone a bit later if we’d known as there was a fair bit of standing around. He is an amazingly talented guitarist and has a beautiful voice. I loved the acoustic section the most. He worked so hard the band all had a rest in the acoustic section but he played every number.

Great show. Really different from show from the show I saw in May in Denver. Did like a 4 song mini set acoustic near later part of show. Musicians incredible and Markus' voice was clear and soulful. Opening act Brittany Spencer, not my cup of tea. Solid vocals but unremarkable overall. She's kind of generic pop country and not close to the people that do that well, but I'm not crazy about that genre. Those that like that kind of thing should enjoy her... Oh yeah Warner Theater sounds great!

The Marcus King Band killed at the 25rh Anniversary of The Fillmore in Denver! The band was right and the vibes easy. Marcus shreds on the songs from his recent release Mood Swings. The only criticism I had of that record was lack of King just shredding on some of the melodies. Well he does just that on the live performance. The horn section, Jack on drums, back up vocalist and entire band really play on a high level. I will be seeing him again in Washington DC this fall. Catch this tour, you won't be disappointed!

Excellent show. Such a great musician who just sings with strong emotions and truly enjoys playing. JJ Wild was great and together they sang a beautiful duet. He brought the two bands together for the encore “ The Weight” which was super cool too!! He doesn’t read reviews but I know he made a lot of new fans last night. I almost caught his pick!!

Marcus comped me 2 free tickets to the sold out show when I ran into him at the Rival Sons show at the Filmore. He’s a class act all the way and him and the band never disappoint. Also got to visit with Stephen after the show, awesome bass player and generous with his time! 4th time seeing them and I’m definitely a life long fan and can’t wait to see them again.

Marcus and the band brought it all night! Unfortunately for us ,we were in the 2nd row and couldn't see the concert. There were 2 people in the front row that stood up the entire show blocking our view even when we were standing. Some folks are in their own world with no consideration for others. That aside we at least heard the concert.

What a pleasure and a privilege to have been in the Academy last night to see this amazingly talented young man with a superb backing band. This kid has it all in bucketloads and yet has a charmingly understated demeanour. It’s like he doesn’t realise how talented he is and this just adds to his appeal. He can slip with ease from Rock to country to jazz with a dash of soul thrown in. I can’t wait until he visits Dublin again. Tom Fanthom

The band are fantastic, King’s vocals are brilliant and there is no doubting his mastery of the guitar. However that is also where a slight problem stood, he was all too willing to demonstrate his virtuosity at every available moment and after a number of songs this became tedious and quite self indulgent. Unfortunately it detracted away from the rest of the gig as songs didn’t come across the same as on record or the same as my last live Marcus King gig just 3 years ago. Good but just started to get a bit boring after a while, hold back on the solos.

A great night of Southern blues and rock at the O2 Academy in Bristol on Wednesday 22 April 2023. The gig got off to a rousing start with a half-hour set from support act Ida Mae, before Marcus King came on stage with his 7 piece band to play two hours of songs mostly taken from his last two albums, a mixture of soulful blues and hard rock with a bit of country thrown in for good measure. Some numbers were purely instrumental, others developed into expansive jams with two lead guitars duelling it out. There was even a retro drum solo while other band members took a short break before the encores. Marcus King has an amazing voice perfectly suited to his brand of Southern Americana, and he has brought together a band of excellent musicians to create an exciting live act. A packed O2 couldn’t get enough of him.

The show itself was phenomenal! Marcus King and his Band are some of the most talented out there, by far. The crowd was completely enthralled the entire show! The venue is beautiful, however it was freezing cold inside. Also, the downstairs staff may have all been new because no one seemed to know what was going on. The bartender didn't know what to charge for most drinks and we ended up paying much more downstairs than we did upstairs? The bathrooms were clean, but paper towel rolls being placed all over the ledges of the sinks doesn't seem the most sanitary. Upstairs bathrooms had a much better upkeep, as it seemed there were people in there cleaning every time I went in there. Overall, it was a great experience. I can't say I would ever be interested in standing all day for a concert, but the upgrade to the balcony was absolutely worth it for an amazing band.

It was a HOT night in Felton. Literally and figuratively speaking. As if the tiny, sold out, non a/c’ed venue wasn’t hot enough, Marcus & Co. came out on blaze. Great 2hr. set drawing from all of the MKB albums, and even a couple covers tossed in for good measure. Looked like it must have been a challenge get’n all that talent and equipment on the tiny stage but the 7 piece band fit like a glove and had plenty of room to move. Set list is added for those who like to compare notes. Was not my first MKB show, but it seems as if they just get better with time. My birthday was 5/25 couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate than an evening with my wife, MLK and 6 of his friends!! 🔥🎸🎶

I am familiar with MKB, with good reason! Their third album " Carolina Confessions" is one of the most solid albums of 2018. My best friend and I had an incredible time and most definitely will be back to see other acts. I had my Cherry popped 3x last night. First time at MMH, and seeing both RockNRollers! Cant wait to see them again! $5 parking, heated smoking area, with food truck accessible right outside. Security was cool but they do search you very well. Mainly looking for weapons and idiots. Everything about last night was 5 stars! Much Love and Respect! MKBeingForLife!!

Marcus King band is no joke. At 22 years young he is on his way to the top. Such an incredibly soulful voice and top notch guitar riffs. The entire band was on, the set was shorter than I think the crowd liked. It's cool to see an opening band come out and get the crowd moving. Great show, definitely need to see these guys.
