There are guitar players, and then there’s Marcus King. The Grammy-nominated vocalist and guitarist from Greenville, South Carolina has spent the last several years building a reputation as one of the most electrifying performers in American roots music — a rare talent who can bring the raw voltage of the blues, the sweep of Southern soul, and the emotional depth of classic rock all at once, in the same song, without breaking a sweat.
On Tuesday, September 15, 2026, the Marcus King Band takes the stage at the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts in Burlington, Vermont. Doors open for an 8:00 PM show.
The Flynn Center is Burlington’s premier performing arts venue — a beautifully maintained hall that has welcomed some of the most significant names in American music through its doors. For fans in the Lake Champlain region and across Upstate New York’s North Country, it’s a room worth making the drive for.
A Sound That Doesn’t Fit in a Box
Marcus King’s music defies easy categorization, and that’s precisely what makes it so compelling. His recordings draw comparisons to the great Southern soul and blues-rock traditions — think the intersection of Allman Brothers country and vintage R&B — but his live show goes further. King is a bandleader in the truest sense, and the Marcus King Band plays with the kind of tight, intuitive chemistry that only comes from musicians who’ve genuinely logged the miles together.
A Grammy nod is just a credential. What matters is what happens when the lights go down and he steps to the microphone. This is one of those shows you’ll be talking about the next morning.
Tickets are available through Ticketmaster. The Flynn Center fills quickly for bookings of this caliber — secure yours early.
