NEW ALBUM "Mood Swings: OUT NOW

Marcus King faces heartache, addiction, and mental health head-on in his music. Pain quakes below the
vibrato of his voice, and his delivery weighs heavy with booze-drenched regrets and mistakes in lonely
hotels. The GRAMMY® nominated fourth generation musician from Greenville, SC, started playing guitar
at 8-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 in addition to gracing the bills of Stagecoach and
more. He has launched various mental health initiatives, including a guitar auction collaboration with
MusiCares.

Now, his 2024 album Mood Swings feels like the moment of baptism when water washes
away a life’s worth of sins and degradation and all that’s left is a revived, yet still real-as-hell primal
scream. It’s as if King strained raw soul straight from his gut up through that broken heart and on to the
record under the watchful eye of Rick Rubin. Emphasizing his vocals front-and-center more than ever
before, the trusty guitar he’s so often associated with plays the sideman this time around (though
there’s no shortage of impressive shredding). For as dark as everything seemed, you can’t help but feel a
sense of hope in the power of Marcus’s voice.
