Artist Marcus King And Thee Royalty

Just about any town in America could benefit from having an old-school soul revue in residence, and Marcus King And Thee Royalty provides that for Madison in generous fashion. The 11-piece band pours a horn section, backing vocals, Hammond organ, and tasteful guitar into covers of tunes that such artists as Wilson Pickett, War, and Sly And The Family Stone made into classics. Having so many people onstage not only makes a good dance party inevitable, it also helps to keep the funky, warm vibe of '60s and '70s R&B alive.
