Marcus King faces heartache, addiction, and mental health head-on in his music. The Grammy-nominated fourth-generation musician from Greenville, SC, started playing guitar at eight years old following in the footsteps of his guitarist father and grandpa. Logging thousands of miles on 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 debut El Dorado, garnering a Grammy Award nomination for “Best Americana Album.” Between headlining venues, he performed alongside Chris Stapleton, Greta Van Fleet, and Nathanial Rateliff. He has launched various mental health initiatives, including a guitar auction collaboration with MusiCares. With his latest album Mood Swings, produced by Rick Rubin, his vocals are front-and-center more than ever before, alongside his always impressive guitar playing. This is Marcus King’s Savannah Music Festival debut.
