The Marcus King Band Announces Inaugural Family Reunion Festival

Southern rockers The Marcus King Band will headline the inaugural The Marcus King Band Family Reunion at Pisgah Brewing in Black Mountain, North Carolina October 6 – 7. King curated the lineup himself and the MKB will perform a full set on October 6 and will host a Marcus King Band Family set featuring David Shaw, Ron Holloway, Brandon “Taz” Niederauer, George Porter Jr. and more on October 7.

The Marcus King Band Family Reunion will also feature performances from Blackberry Smoke, David Shaw, Muddy Magnolias, Jaimoe’s Jasssz Band, George Porter Jr. & The Runnin’ Pardners, BIG Something, Travers Brothership, Ron Holloway Band, Leah Blevins, Gabriel Kelley, That’s What’s Up and more. 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.

“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,” explained King about the reasoning behind the festival. “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 pre-sale via MarcusKingBand.com will be available on Thursday, August 24 followed by the public on-sale Friday, August 25.
