Anyone here heard of or into Marcus King? This young guy is fantastic. He is the most exciting guitar player I've heard in over 20 years!

Suprisingly ran into his band two years at Peachfest in Scranton, PA. Blew me away. Picked up a live CD of his band playing at music festival two years in Ohio.

Outrageous!!!

Love this guys guitar playing, etc!
Tonight his band is opening for the "Night Sweats" at the old Bethlehem Steel "Levitt's Pavillion" in PA. Never heard of the main act the "Night Sweats" but Marcus King will be a hard act for them to follow!

I first heard him on a Norman's Rare Guitars vid when he was only about 18.




Quite the talent. Like a lot of newer younger players, he's a great hybrid picker. I think this is a generational thing propagated by online youtube lessons. With my generation, the big influences were EVH and shredding sweep pickers. I'm fascinated by how effortlessly this newer generation hybrid picks. Very cool.
