    Since Marcus King’s previous Rig Rundown in 2017, he’s made two albums-produced by the Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach-and scored a Grammy nomination. He’s also busted out his own signature Orange amp with an allusive name, and upped his profile, stepping from clubs to big halls. Not bad for a North Carolina kid with blues in his bloodline.
    And, really, not entirely unexpected. King hit the scene in his teens as a full-blown virtuoso, playing club gigs at night and going to high school by day. He was initially championed by Warren Haynes, who was so impressed that he released the Marcus King Band’s 2015 debut, Soul Insight, on his Evil Teen Records label. And then the hard-playing young roots genre-blender rode that wind under his wings.
    Before his September 29 gig at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, touring behind his recent release Young Blood, he entertained PG’s John Bohlinger-with some help with the details from guitar tech Cody Bates-with a close-up look at his current touring rig. Dig in!

      I'm die hard Clapton devotee and last fall my wife surprised me to go see him in Nashville. It was a great show and then for the encore he brought Marcus out to jam with him and I went crazy and everybody around me was like "who is that guy???" and I was like "that's Marcus King and he's a BEAST!" It was a great moment and I'm sure Marcus was in hog heaven up there jamming with Clapton.

      Although the studio albums ARE good, as much as I hate to, cannot disagree with this statement. No one has yet to capture the mojo/feel of his live performances with any real authenticity as of yet. Hopefully soon.
      On a side note, Marcus is one of the coolest down-to-earth artists I've ever met; and I've met quite a few over the years working as a contractor for local venues here.

    Been a fan of this kid since about when he got on the scene. I remember being blown away by that voice. Then seeing him on Jam in the Van had me sold. Luckily, I got to see him open up for Tedeschi Trucks and watch them perform together at the end.
    And funny enough, he played a concert with Brent Hinds of Mastodon doing Black Sabbath covers. It should still be on UA-cam somewhere.
