The Marcus King Band Family Reunion is all about friends, food, and in Marcus King’s words, “front porch pickin’.” Inspired by weekends past with his family, the two-day festival—August 23rd and 24th at Firefly Distillery in North Charleston, South Carolina—is a hopped-up version of exactly that, complete with a front porch-inspired jam for the ages. Today, single day lineups were announced for the Marcus King Band Family Reunion including a special Marcus King & Friends set on Saturday.

 “When I was growing up in South Carolina, once a year we’d pack the family car up and head to my great grandparents’ home for some front porch pickin’, covered dishes, lots of love, and plenty of leftovers,” says fourth-generation Carolinian musician Marcus King.
