A fourth-generation musician, the 29-year-old, GRAMMY-nominated, singer, songwriter and guitar phenomenon, Marcus King–the namesake of the Marcus King Band–is quickly becoming one of the most soulful voices of his generation. Greenville, South Carolina-born, and Nashville-based, King is renowned for his soulful voice, guitar skills, and diverse influences. King comes from a musical family and began playing guitar at a young age, his father, Marvin King, is a blues guitarist, and his grandfather was a country musician. The Gibson Marcus King ES-345
is a reflection of his own family’s sonic heritage, a personalized version of the classic model that was handed down from Marcus King’s grandfather to his father and finally to him as he launched his family’s musical legacy to stages worldwide. Originally released as a Custom Shop model, the new Marcus King ES-345 is inspired by his main guitar, a 1962 ES-345 that was handed down to him by his family. This modern version captures the look and vibe of his original, with only the features that King finds essential

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.
King 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 described it, “he…goes for something much more daring, vulnerable, and openhearted.”
