The Marcus King Band Family Reunion Festival Announces Final Lineup

This October 6 & 7, The Marcus King Band and their family & friends will descend on Pisgah Brewing in Black Mountain, NC for the inaugural The Marcus King Band Family Reunion, a 2-day music festival featuring a lineup curated by King himself. The festival has just announced the final artist lineup and set times. Friday evening will feature sets by Alex Williams, BIG Something, The Marcus King Band, National Reserve, Blackberry Smoke, and Jaimoe's Jasssz Band. Saturday will host Travers Brothership, Leah Blevins, George Porter Jr. & Runnin' Pardners, David Shaw, People's Blues of Richmond, Muddy Magnolias, The Ron Holloway Band, The Marcus King Band & Family set, and That's What's Up.

The Marcus King Band will perform a full set on Friday, October 6, and will host a special Marcus King Band Family set on Saturday, October 7, with guest appearances by David Shaw, Ron Holloway, Brandon "Taz" Niederauer, George Porter Jr. and more.

Single day passes have been released for the Friday, October 6th and Saturday, October 7th show dates. Single Day passes are General Admission only and will be $38.50 in advance with a price increase to $45 at the gate day-of show. 2-day passes for the event are still available at $67.50 in advance and $75 at the gate.

Given their almost non-stop tour schedule, The Marcus King Band tends to miss out on the family reunions they cherished growing up. "I remember these gatherings were always the happiest time for me as a kid. A stress-free environment where you are free to love the people you're around," explains King. "That's the aesthetic we want to bring to our festival. Community and happiness. There are no separate agendas being forced on anyone. Just an all-around good time."

A portion of the proceeds from each ticket sold will benefit two local non-profits near and dear to The Marcus King Band: Cannabis Forward, a Greenville-based organization that raises awareness of the medical benefits of marijuana, and Mental Health America of Greenville County, an organization that positively impacts mental health through advocacy, awareness and service.

Late last year, The Marcus King Band released their sophomore, self-titled album that was produced by Warren Haynes and released on Fantasy Records. This year, the band made their network television debut on CBS This Morning Saturday where they performed "Rita Is Gone" and "Ain't Nothin' Wrong With That." Marcus King made the cover of Guitar Player Magazine in August of 2017 as one of "10 Young Players Spreading The Gospel of Kick-Ass Guitar."
