Marcus King’s debut solo record El Dorado is a Dan Auerbach produced, genre-bending release from a world-class young talent. A 23-year-old guitar phenom and innovative songwriter who can simultaneously switch from swaggering rock to supersonic soul – Marcus’ vocal powers take center stage on El Dorado, establishing him as one of the most soulful voices of his generation.

Bursting with charisma, talent and steadfast determination, last year the Greenville, South Carolina native put the pain of lost friends and broken hearts behind him and set out to Nashville TN. The album title El Dorado is in part, inspired by his new home. Marcus explains, “That’s how I see Nashville – the city of gold. I wanted to be closer to the source of music and opportunity.” Taking a leap of faith, he added, “I signed the lease agreement on the road for the house I rent without even seeing inside. When the universe speaks to you, listen.”

We celebrated release of the record with an awesome in-store performance here by Marcus King. He’s a talented musician and we’re happy to have him in Nashville. Released January 17, 2020 by Fantasy Records, El Dorado is available here on indie exclusive tiger marble vinyl and CD.
