Southern rockers The Marcus King Band served as the musical guest on Tuesday night’s episode of Conan. The appearance marked the group’s late night television debut.

Guitarist/frontman Marcus King, keyboardist DeShawn Alexander, bassist Stephen Campbell, trombonist/trumpeter Justin Johnson, saxophonist Dean Mitchell and drummer Jack Ryan performed “Where I’m Headed” from their forthcoming Carolina Confessions studio album. Host Conan O’Brien had a huge reaction when he came onstage at the end of the song, as he exclaimed “Good god, that was fantastic!” before embracing King in a bear hug.

The Marcus King Band recorded Carolina Confessions at the historic RCA Studio A in Nashville with producer Dave Cobb. “Where I’m Headed” is the opening track on the album which is due on October 5 via Fantasy Records. Watch The Marcus King Band’s performance on Conan below:
