Marcus King – unveils the brand new single single ‘Carolina Honey’

The Marcus King Band unveils a further taste of new music with ‘Carolina Honey’ out now via American Records/Republic Records.

“‘Carolina Honey’ is all about how I met my wife and what a significant impact that chance meeting had on my life that one night after a show in Raleigh, NC,” says King. “I woke up still hurting from the night before – still feeling I didn’t have much to live for. I’d given up on any thought that I could ever be ‘happy.’ All that changed when Little Bird walked into my life. After my set, Briley came backstage to say hello – she started playing Linda Ronstadt and singing and for the first time I saw something or someone in front me that gave me ‘hope.’ Someone I wanted to be my BEST self for – Someone I wanted to grow old with, someone that made me want to grow old ‘at all.’ ‘Carolina Honey’ takes the listener through my mentality that day, my change of heart that night and my burning desire for her to feel the same way too.”

The beloved Marcus King Band Family Reunion music festival will return for its fourth instalment this summer, taking place in Charleston, SC for the first time ever. Over the course of two days—August 23 and 24—the festival will see performances by the Marcus King BandJamey JohnsonStephen Wilson Jr.Molly Tuttle, Hiss Golden Messenger and more.
