Marcus King Band
Following a successful run of critically acclaimed albums with the Marcus King Band, Greenville, South Carolina native Marcus King made his solo debut with the GRAMMY®-nominated El Dorado in 2020, followed by Young Blood (2022) and Mood Swings (2024).
King is now reuniting with his longtime live band for the first time since 2018’s Carolina Confessions on the forthcoming Darling Blue, recorded at the iconic Capricorn Studios alongside GRAMMY®-winning producer and engineer Eddie Spear. The album features Noah Cyrus, Billy Strings, Kaitlin Butts, and more, with co-writes from Midland and Lainey Wilson among other notable names.
Many of the songs across the album pay homage to King’s South Carolina roots and deep appreciation for his home state. Darling Blue, released on September 26 via American Records/Republic Records, marks a full-circle moment in King’s career. He’ll be touring internationally throughout the year, hitting the road with Chris Stapleton, Cody Johnson, and Eric Church in the U.S.
Penelope Road
Emerging from Atlanta’s vibrant music scene, Penelope Road brings a bold, soulful edge to modern indie rock. Centered around lush, layered vocals, the five-piece blends elements of ‘70s rock, funk, soul, and pop into a sound that feels both timeless and fresh. Drawing inspiration from legends like Stevie Wonder and Hall & Oates while channeling the forward-thinking creativity of artists like Mk.gee, the band bridges eras with easy confidence. Their tight harmonies and dynamic live energy have earned them a growing reputation for performances that connect and resonate. After releasing their debut EP in 2024, Penelope Road has continued to tour nationwide and release new music throughout 2025.
