Southern Rocker Marcus King To Play Outdoors At Fargo Brewing In June

Promoter Jade Presents has announced that GRAMMY® Award-nominated artist, performer and songwriter Marcus King will play outdoors at Fargo Brewing Company on Sunday, June 11, 2023. Tickets go on sale on Friday, February 17th.

King was downright destined to play music. By eight years old, the fourth-generation Greenville, S.C. native performed alongside his father, grandfather, and uncles for the first time. Logging thousands of miles on the road as The Marcus King Band, he established himself with unparalleled performance prowess and a dynamic live show.

In 2020, he linked up with Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys and cut his solo debut El Dorado, garnering a GRAMMY® Award nomination in the category of “Best Americana Album.” Beyond praise from NPR, American Songwriter, and more, Rolling Stone christened it “excellent,” and Associated Press went as far as to claim, “El Dorado already stands out as a definite high point of 2020.”

In between packing venues on his own, he performed alongside Chris Stapleton, Greta Van Fleet, and Nathaniel Rateliff in addition to gracing the bills of Stagecoach and more with one show after the next. Along the way, he caught the attention of Rick Rubin and signed with American Recordings.

Plugged into his old man’s dusty amp with a ’59 Les Paul in hand, King set out to make a rock ‘n’ roll record in 2022. He didn’t disguise his ambitions at all. He didn’t hold back. He didn’t think about anything but writing from the gut, shooting from the hip, and playing straight from the heart. Joined by Auerbach, he made the kind of rock ‘n’ roll record that makes arenas and asses shake, and it’s called Young Blood on American Recordings/Republic Records.
