HUGE Billy Strings fan here! And Marcus King is another living legend in the making! I just saw Marcus King on tour a few weeks ago - easily a top 5 show ever for me. Neither dude has a bad song!
Marcus was in school with our daughter until he dropped out after 10th grade to pursue music. He’s a 4th generation musician, and his dad was very supportive of his decision.
When they were in 5th grade, my wife and I were able to attend the the school talent show. As you can imagine, kids were tap dancing, playing chopsticks on the piano, singing fairly on key, etc. Marcus came out and brought down the house playing the guitar…behind his head. He was in 5th grade, and was unbelievably good.
For the past couple or few years, he’s been coming home and performing at The Peace Center in Greenville, SC…calls it the Hometown Throwdown.
I’m not a musician, but I think it’s safe to say that both Billy Strings and Marcus King are truly prodigies.

Very nice. With a little more polish, a nextgen Tony Rice.
