The Marshall Tucker Band came together as a young, hungry, and quite driven six-piece outfit in Spartanburg, South Carolina in 1972, having duly baptized themselves with the name of a blind piano tuner after they found it inscribed on a key to their original rehearsal space — and they’ve been in tune with tearing it up on live stages both big and small all across the globe ever since. Plus, the band’s mighty music catalog, consisting of more than 20 studio albums and a score of live releases, has racked up multi-platinum album sales many times over. A typically rich MTB setlist is bubbling over with a healthy dose of hits like the heartfelt singalong “Heard It in a Love Song,” the insistent pleading of “Can’t You See,” the testifying “Fire on the Mountain,” the wanderlust gallop of “Long Hard Ride,” and the explosive testimony of “Ramblin,’” to name but a few.
The Marshall Tucker Band’s influence can be felt far and wide through many respected contemporaries and the artists who’ve followed the path forged by their collective footsteps and foot stomps. Today, the Marshall Tucker Band’s legacy is being carried forward by lead vocalist and bandleader Doug Gray and his current bandmates, drummer B.B. Borden, bassist / vocalist Ryan Ware, keyboardist / saxophonist / flautist / vocalist Marcus James Henderson, guitarist / vocalist Chris Hicks, and guitarist / vocalis Rick Willis.
Treena Parvello, Director of Government and Public Relations for the Tohono O’odham Gaming Enterprise, said, “We’re excited to welcome the Marshall Tucker Band to the Diamond Center on Sept. 27. Be sure to get your tickets early to see this legendary band live on stage at our Sahuarita location!”
