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. Grammy-nominated country legend Jamey Johnson is set to headline on August 23rd, with Marcus King Band closing out the night of August 24th. A full daily lineup can be found below.

More About Marcus King Band Family Reunion: “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 King. “This is where I learned about the joy music could bring and how it’s a powerful force that brings us all together.” With his childhood memory bank as direct inspiration, King, along with his Marcus King Band, is bringing a whole lot more family and friends together on a much larger porch this summer for the Marcus King Band Family Reunion. “I want to bring that same joy to all of you folks this year with the return of the annual Marcus King Band Family Reunion,” says King. “We’re thrilled to bring the reunion down to the coast of South Carolina!”

About Marcus King:
Greenville, South Carolina-born, Nashville-based Marcus King started performing alongside his blues guitarist father when he was just eight years old. He made his solo debut with El Dorado (2020), produced by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys. The album was met with widespread acclaim, with the Associated Press calling it “a definite high point of 2020.” It went on to earn King his landmark Grammy nomination for Best Americana Album at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards.
He followed up the success of El Dorado with Young Blood (2022), also produced by Auerbach. His sophomore album debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Blues Albums Chart, describing it as a “staggeringly confident work.” Last year King returned with his third album, Mood Swings, produced by Rick Rubin, of which Rolling Stone describes, “he…goes for something much more daring, vulnerable, and openhearted.”
