This guy should be the biggest thing in music right now.
That’s what’s wrong with music these days. These kinds of musicians can save lives and change people. And yet you turn on the radio and want to puke 🤢
That's reserved for Tedeschi Trucks.....but Marcus could be second biggest
@@michaelbiddle2356 you sure Ray Lamontagna shouldn't have the #1 spot?
Agreed, but until blues rock makes a comeback with the younger generation, it's gonna be mostly middle aged dudes that appreciate this stuff.
💙💙💙💙💙
And people say that rock is dying because we've seen every possible sound and combination, yet here we are with yet another legend in the making.
The best part of my time on the internet is the discovery of Marcus King and Billy Strings.
good call. Both of them are once-in-a-generation talents who came along right when they were needed the most.
They are both great, but I’m a way bigger Marcus King fan just because of his style. But, there’s no doubt Billy is a powerhouse also.
Me too!
Wow I was just thinking the very same thing :) 🙏
Same here. Saw Marcus King live this year, november it's Billy his turn :)
This guy will make you happy in your darkest days, and he and his band are on another planet. I’m so thankful I got to see him live a few years ago.
The new KING is crowned.

51:04 Welcome ‘Round Here
I was looking for this. You're the VMP!
Thank you, friend! You´re a good friend!
Uooo
Thanks a trillion homie
You are a mensch
Be safe and be well
Thank you so much!!!!
The old timers from my generation need to step away now and make room for greatness...like this kid and his band. Honestly, does it get any better than this? Not really!
Look up a guy named Billy Strings.
He’s a natural, from a family of musicians, born to play, doesn’t hurt to have great ability & song writing skills, dudes the real deal.❤
And let's give credit where credit is due : his band is tight.
fuckin duh
As a bandleader, there is nothing, I mean nothing like killer sidemen that can sing too. All these kids are clearly training, and musically literate.
Tighter than the tambourine skin - that's for sure ;p
Just goes to show that you can find really good musicians anywhere, even in your home town, like he did.
Yes! I was thinking the same thing. This band is so unbelievably tight. Marcus is a phenomenal performer but damn does this band compliment him and just groove with him. Just unbelievable how synced they are.
Marcus King is a genius.
His drummer is incredible.
The whole band is very good.
Thanks a lot.
I'm gonna see them in october in Madrid. I feel lucky.
Agreed. Enjoy the show in October. I just him last week. INCREDIBLE!!!
@@gracecase998
Cool ! 😊
Probably one of my new favorites, Him, Greta Van Fleet, and Billy Strings are bringing guitar back into the spot light, in a familiar but fresh way and I'm proud to be of the same generation.
The soul of James Brown, the hands of Eric Clapton and the voice of the south. Marcus and the band are one of the very best new talents of thier generation, my generation.
Youngsters who can play psychedelic, to R&R, to blues, to jazz and right back into wherever their groove takes 'em . SWEET!
Aretha Franklin and Stevie Ray's love child.
One of the best bands out there right now is marcus king Band and marcus kills it every time. This kid was born with the blues in his soul.😊
The Marcus King Band and Tedeschi Trucks Band - these two bands are as good as it gets, keeping the flame and creating new greatness.
i would throw the Allman Betts band in there also. Live they are amazing. Originals as good as the songs they play from their heritage! Gov't Mule great too.
@@darinball441 and then i would throw in crown lands
@@darinball441 Yes. Allman Betts are great.
Mule. These guys are the real deal. Warren recognized that early on.
With you on this. There's bands I've yet to find I'm sure, but those two satisfy my musical heart. Soulful they are.
Marcus is way beyond his years musical/instrumental maturity. Dude is on a another level. It’s beautiful to watch him succeed
💙💙💙💙💙
you're clueless, rey. he'll be 27 in March. the beatles, clapton, hendrix, SRV, van halen, allen collins, jim morrison, randy rhoads and 100+ rock stars were all accomplished well before 26 years old.
@@RobertMJohnson these people you listed are all in there youth in the Peak of rock n roll 🤦♂️🤷♂️ were definitely not in anything like those times so new inspiration is much fewer and further in between.... So 27 is quite young to be as good as he is without the benifits of a peak environment/era.... So to say Roy knows nothing it's just baseless and you being rude just to be rude.
@@RobertMJohnson But...we aren't talking about those people right now, are we? He wasn't comparing...now here you are, "taking" away from this guys original post...
@@RobertMJohnson And then call him clueless, because YOU changed the subject.....dude...the hell? What you said was not even remotely related to this guy's comment...narcissistic much?
The Marcus King Band and Tedeschi Trucks Band are the best bands since when Allman Brothers and Grateful Dead are departed
nah, theres many bands that piss on them.
Name 5. Thanks.
Don't forget BlackBerry smoke.
@@brainstain2904... You are right, and so many others.
@@TheFissionchipsWell, give a few tips... Maybe we have different taste. Bye, mate.
Been playing music for30 years now.before i get out of bed,i grab my headphones and listen to Marcus,that's how i start my day.a musical god.
I’m in heaven. This is phenomenal, and I’ve missed horns so much - such a big part of 1970s sound. Thank you, Marcus, for being an old soul.
The text in your bio is really cute😁
Check out Bishop Gunn's "Natchez" album - fantastic - and has Muscle Shoals horns. Bet you'll love it.
This band is my absolute favorite. Marcus is a guitarist from an era long past. His style us infectious and I'm glad for it. Their drummer is the truth, he can beat the hell outta those skins.
This kid started out great and is getting better to the point where I don't even know how to characterize this. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this.
Agreed! And thanks for tuning in
Between Billy Strings and Marcus King, God is at last filling the void. Rock ON
acehays I agree 100% with your thoughts. Well said!
@@ryanchase9746 Yes. There's hope after all.
AMEN. I feel I am going to live again. 😊 I am 73 and these last four years have almost killed me. Nothing like good music to compete with even the good stuff.
Nothing better than great southern music
WOW! Monster on the guitar, and amazing vocals. A rising star for sure. Great job Marcus and band.
Is it me or the performance of Confessions is absolutely stunning? Unreal! So much emotion and intensity. Don't give me wrong, this whole live is one of the best we can find on RUclips from The Marcus King Band. But man, this Confessions performance. I kept watching it again and again, almost every day for 2 months.
Just discovered this band and man... can't stop listening to all the albums. Not one song is lesser quality than the others. This is farout the best band I've heard in the last years. Every sound, every instrument is in perfect harmony with the lead singer's addictive voice. I'm blown away by this sound and hoping they will perform in Europe some day! Glad to be hearing much more of Marcus King and his incredible band. Thank you for putting a musical smile on my face again.
The kid already outshines most of singing guitarists of the today's rock/blues scene.
The lead-off "Where I'm Headed" is monstrous - love it! This version just rocks so right. Its album Carolina Confessions is excellent, but for this song, this live version is AWESOME!!!
Keep that SOUTHERN ROCK alive brother... you are amazing 🙏🏼💜🇨🇦
And Marcus writes and arranges most tunes. His setlist changes every night. His smile is a mile wide! What a Band!!
Love this kid,pure talent.
I'm hitting 60 was afraid this would go away,,,this is very very good 👍 ❤
Blues alive..
July 4th morning...on the carport drinking coffee...shucking corn...and grooving to this music!!!
Marcus represents the new high level rock guitarist and singer of this generation. And his band fucking smokes so hard, he can just take us away on his magic carpet ride. This band, and Marcus, are the real deal. Nothing touches this band, IMO, at this time, as far as that true emotional, raw rock improv coming from high-level players. This is it, folks, right here!
The only other current rock bands that could hold up to this are Greta Van Fleet and Tedeschi Trucks. Solid vocals with a shredding lead guitarist bringing back the solo!
Ever heard of My Morning Jacket?
@@RamusRemi indeed i have. i stumbled upon them by chance about ten years back give or take. Theyre great, but, its very difficult, maybe impossible, to find a definite comparison when it comes to this amazing phenomenon, ive stopped trying dude! In years to come its Marcus Kings name that will be used when people are saying "Ive not heard anything like this since....." or "They'rre good but they're no ....... band" ;-)
Going to see him in Bristol in March next year!!😀🎸🤘👍🎸🎸🎸🤘🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
His voice is unbelievable, but let’s give it up for the entire band including his guitar skills! I’m absolutely blown away 🔥
Agreed! It takes a dream team to put this soulful music in place!
💙💙💙💙💙
Band is SUPER tight..........That being said......Marcus can SHRED on that Gibson. I'm blown away at his acumen on the 6 string
As if Allman and Joplin's voices had a kid.
How about a duet with St. Paul and The Broken Bones. Two white boys with black soul… awesome
I'm 48 years old and I just discovered this guy. I'm completely obsessed. Holy crap what a revelation!
Absolutely! I'm way older than you! This guy has it!
Yep me too
I'm 69 and a fan.
same dude!! Haven't been a fan of anyone for a long time..this guy gives me hope there are young crew comin up that can do it the way it should be done..amen!
Me too
Yesterday I was so saddened by the passing of one of the godfathers of Southern rock Mr. Charlie Daniels. I am seeing this for the first time and my sadness has turned to pure and absolute elation. Southern rock is now the powerhouse genre of music in America and hopefully will be for a very long time. I consider myself to be truly blessed to be alive to witness this new generation of Southern musicians and Southern music. The south has done it again and may they rock on forever . God Bless and preserve the sound of the South. Amor y Paz.
How did I not know about this band until now? Seriously, how is Marcus King not headlining a tour? He is just literally one of the best artists performing right now
Oh Good Lord! The first song of the session is just an amazing feel good beat! The sound of this band and Marcus’ guitar work and vocals are bigger than life! Thank God, here’s real music coming from our future generation.
Definitely grew into a powerhouse...Soul power will take you farther than brain power,living proof...no limit for this kid,just lots of work....
Its like Jimmy Page and John Frusciante had a baby and that kid had a baby with the child of Freddie King and Otis Redding!
I swear i thought players like this didnt happen anymore and to think weve got at least 40 years of progress and honing skills and practice. How exciting!! We are truly privileged to be living at the same time as him. It almost makes up for being too young to have seen Jimi n Zeppelin and all those dudes......almost. Yup, since i saw The Black Crowes i dont think ive seen anything quite like this. Simply beautiful.🙏
Marcus was sent down from the gods to remind us what music is really about.
Phil Dale nope
If he was sent from the gods they wouldn't have roughed his face up so bad before he landed.
@@jibblesq wya
@@jibblesq lol, that’s exactly how music shows be mr. mtv .
14:44 is the some of the most beautiful playing I think I've ever heard
There is nobody in music today that even comes close. Everything else is just a gnat in your ear while you’re trying to sleep in comparison to MK’s skillz.
... for sure one of the greatest today's guitarists - and the band is awesome...
Been following Marcus since i saw him posting videos of himself playing guitar in his room... AMAZING. DREAMS COME TRUE. With hard work, dedication & passion.
When someone like this can bring you to tears of joy, you know you're in the presence of greatness.
Eternally gratefull to you Sir Warren Hayes for recognizing the incredible tallent of this young man, and making it possible to enjoy his music!
Came here because I am searching for
blues artists who plays Gibson!
This band's awesome.
It's a 'Gibson ES-355' .. A beautiful instrument. Marcus calls his 'Big Red' !!! An amazing guitar played here, by an even more amazing 24 year old guitarist, singer and composer .. Marcus King. ~

$4495.00 ??? I don't know that ANY guitar is worth that much. I guess if you're a collector .. of just filthy rich .. maybe.

Who says no one makes real music these days??! Asheville is my hometown and it warms my heart to see a Carolina boy bring this level of music to the world 🙌🏼
Gabe Fore my whole family is from Asheville,the Capps family.I stay in Atlanta and I’m a blues player myself,I’d love to move up there and start a band,so much great talent coming out of the mountains.
Real music. What does that even mean? There are many styles of music and they are all real. You just probably have a soft spot for this roots Americana nonsense
@@cleftturnip7774 Of course there are many types of music. I never said this is the only kind of “real” music. You may want to re-read the original post. I’m actually saying that anyone who states there is no real music anymore is wrong, and Marcus is but one of many examples.
@@gabefore but what do you mean by real music?
@@gabefore you're comment still implies there is such thing as real music. I just wonnderd what you think they mean is real music?
Goodbye Carolina will go down as one of the greatest songs in this genre book it.
The best singer, songwriter and guitar player I've seen in a long time. And the band is awesome, too.
Ouch,I gave up on soooooo many people,you know the ones you should be able to trust,.....i believe in the music!THANK YOU MARCUS KING AND BAND❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
first the TTB now the Marcus King Band!
takes a little of the pain away not being able to go see
the Allman Brothers anymore.
Thanks for posting.
I'm still buzzing I watched this guy in Portland a few weeks ago. I have been to many shows and watched great talent but this guy is something special. Amazing voice and guitar skills second to none. He plays from somewhere special and you can feel his energy through his sound.
Fantastic, young man, old soul, please stay off drugs.You mean to much to the music world now.
American music has been the soundtrack to so many lives globally, Marcus carries the genes.
Was flicking through FB and someone mentioned that this guy played Dublin (Ireland) and they were suitably impressed. So, here i am checking him out on RUclips and WOW he is something else. Absolutely fantastic
HOW can anyone give this a thumb down? seriously. Some of the best playing I have heard in a LOOONG time.
I listen to / watch a lot of guitarists on RUclips. I have only seen one other that I don’t believe is playing an instrument but rather channeling pure soul and emotion through the strings and that is Jeff Beck. Not musicians, something other worldly and to be deeply cherished. Was lucky enough to see MKB in Sydney in 2019 - one of the best live gigs I’ve ever been to. The guy is special.
He and Billy String play well together. Same age and play like they’ve been playing for 50 years.
Stumbled upon this video a couple months ago. First was totally hooked with first riff and guitar tone on Where I'm Headed, then he started to sing and I thought, "what the hell have I just discovered." Then he played the first guitar solo and I almost hit the floor. Been obsessed with Marcus ever since.
Same here! And it gets better every time I listen somehow
You have to watch the first session, 4 years prior. It's Echo Sessions 11.
He was one of the openers for Tedeschi Trucks at Red Rocks a few years ago. I thought he should have been the headliner. The guy's amazing!
Marcus King band has killer feel and soul what else do you need to hear from a band. Marcus Kings guitar playing just blows me away his singing just grabs you. I saw this band in Orlando and I loved every minute if this band on stage.
Great, great band and fantastic leader, Marcus King, extraordinary guitarist and great singer!
Mr. King seems to be ushering in a brand new day in rock and roll.
I was a helpless victim to, who at the time was unknown to me, Marcus King Band when they opened up DarkStar Jubilee in 2019 and they came in HOT! Badass band! Friggin amazing times! Tearin up wishin i could be right back there but i know it wont be long before im front row get my face smashed in the most delightful way but the most beautiful sounds! Amen to music
New Zealand reporting in :
I too am completely down the rabbit hole with Marcus and the band. Love the bassist so much. Marcus is so so so 🔥 slick LOVE HIM
I second that. The bassist plays some very cool stuff...adds so much to the overall groove and sound.
He sets the bar high for professionalism. It seems like everything Marcus does live sounds like it was recorded in studio. The guy is just that polished and getting better everyday. He has that Buddy Guy jam style down to a science.
Just utterly phenominal. Every live video of these guys simultaneously blows my mind & restores my faith in rock n roll.
I'm a long time Govt Mule fan & they've always been the southern rock/blues benchmark for me... But this young man is on some kinda unicorn level. Spread the word - Pop must Die! Long live The King!
Thanks for pure music. Good music never die. For next 40 years, it's garanteed. 🎉🎉🎉
I really wish they had this session laid down on CD or vinyl!! It's just so superbadass, start to finish, just a really amazing jam.
This guys is so good that his new songs sound like classics! Literally a King of the Blues ! Long Life to this new KIng!
Damn! An old soul right here! I absolutely adore Marcus and his band!
No weaknesses in his skills. Complete entertainer. Saving this right onto a playlist.
It was the first Echo Sessions concert where I discovered Marcus King. Un-freaking-believable talent. Going to see him tomorrow night, so I'm listening right now to get in the mood! Thanks for making your way up to Toronto, Marcus!
This was in Toronto Canada 🍁
Omg i frikkin love you Mr. Marcus! An absolute mind blowing treat to see the male version of Joplin!!! Get confident! Go crazy!!! Let it go!!!!!
What a beautiful human. So glad I found him on RUclips. 🎉
you can immediately see he knows music inside and out! 4th generation of talent!
holy crap, I knew Marcus was someone special but to hear him grow into something this solid, powerful, creative and emotionally deep is inspiring. So glad to see the bravery of choosing to close by playing "outside" and off the radio and doing it with so much conviction. YES! thank you.
Marcus has been an inspiration to many of us as well. He is so down to earth and relaxed not only in his playing but in his connection to the wider community. He's a real gem of a human being! It's an extra bonus that he can shred on a guitar but we would love him no matter what he did for living.
@@iamavl Well said. He's the kind of kid .. you'd be "proud" to call a "friend" ...
me love misc thank u misc
@@iamavl That's great to hear. Love what you do with these Echo Sessions. All the best to you and your colleagues.
I haven't been this excited about a band in a long time.
WOW! Just awesome.
My son came home the other night and put it on....just wow!
Overwhelmingly great! Marcus King, a voice like Otis Redding/Janis Joplin and guitar playing... how to even say? So goddamn good!
As a north GA upper SC native so proud. Lived in Greenville when I was a kid. I'm at 15:52 and melted in my seat send help. this band fucking kills
I've only just discovered Marcus King. Bloody hell he's good. The band is incredible too.
Bassist is phenomenally tight.... The rhythm section groove is on point.
Headphones, Harmonizing and Meditation. LEGEND BABY!
Southern Rock and Soul at its finest. Keep representing. 15:30...ROCKING IT!!!
Back in lockdown AGAIN and these amazing men are warming my soul on this chilly rainy day while I dance in my seat while I work. I cannot get enough of this band.
Love this Band.. They are soo tight!! Just can't understand for the life of me why there are thumbs down. Some Peoples only taste is in their mouth.
Of all the guitarists who played the most recent Eric Clapton guitar festival, Marcus King was the one I found to be the most compelling. I could not put my finger on exactly what it was about him, but I am thrilled to be seeing an upcoming performance here in Los Angeles.
As a local of Greenville, SC, I am so proud of this young man. I drive by where he studied guitar at the Fine Arts Center just about everyday. My dad lives only a half a mile from there. Keep rockin man! Keep rockin for Greenville!
This Kid Has Got It ! He Blows Me Away ! And Takes Me back To The Past ! Thank You Young Man I'm Your Biggest Fan! These Young Ones Today Can Lean A Lot Off Marcus ! He's A Cool Cat!
Well, I am crying and just so happy and grateful this human is alive doing his thing. He is an exceptionally gifted musician and singer. Great band too.
14:45 to 17:10…I had chill bumps over my whole body by the end. What an epic solo.
best version of my favorite song
It's fuc.......awesomeeeeeee!!!!!!! Bro
Wow . The tune around the 40 min mark is outta sight. Boy can that guy shred ❤️
Man!!! Marcus and Crew cooking🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥thankyou👋🎉
I saw them play at the Buffalo Iron Works a couple of years ago. Blew me away. I left that gig buzzing. The real deal!
The sky is the limit for this kid and his band. The drummer is fire....
Wow! Marcus has so much going for him. His voice is incredible and the bluesy guitar is so good. His band is really good and they work together so good. The last song is truly a southern blues song that hits home. Marcus keep it goin my friend !
That tele is soooo beautiful. And his tone... ooh! His voice is outstanding and the songs he writes are smooooth! Tight band too! This is awesome!
I've heard those guys last week, for the first time. They're already one of my favorites.
The last time I saw someone playing a Gibson like that his name was Alvin Lee....who would be proud of Marcus I am sure.
Alvin was great! Not many people mention him but man was he talented
