  • Marcus King Packs a Punch in Buffalo

    Marcus King is currently on tour in support of his debut solo album El Dorado, which is slated to be released in January.

    While the album may be a solo affair, Marcus King’s show in Buffalo at the Town Ballroom was a team effort with each member of the sextet having their chance to shine.

    However, the spotlight definitely shined brightest on the namesake of the group. Marcus King may only be 23 years old but he already possesses the chops and stage presence of a timeless blues master that demands your full attention.
