 From their first LP in 1973, to their powerful stage presence today,
the Marshall Tucker Band has played countless concert venues around
the world. With the success of the Volunteer Jam Tour, and 1999
release of Gospel, the good ol’ boys from Spartanburg, South Carolina
remain as a powerful force in the world of music. David Muse has
rejoined the Marshall Tucker Band after a three year absence. As a
founding member of Firefall, David took sometime away from MTB to
reunite with his bandmates. David originally joined MTB in 1996. We
are truly grateful to have such a tremendous talent return on flute,
sax and keys. Doug Gray, lead singer, is quick to credit the band’s
current dynamic members with carrying on the everlasting Marshall
Tucker Band sound. In 1989, slide guitarist Stuart Swanlund joined the
lineup of talented musicians. They also added the highly respected
B.B. Borden, who is a former member of both Mother’s Finest and The
Outlaws, on drums in the early 90’s. “The buying public never really
cared whether we were country or rock and roll” says founding member
Doug Gray. “They called us a Southern rock band, but we have always
played everything from country to blues and all things in-between.
We’re still playing all of the classic songs, but we are moving ahead
into other styles as well. We’re also playing for a younger audience
than we have in the past, perhaps to the kids of the fans we played in
front of in the 70’s and 80’s.” Gray also notes that people have
gotten “married and buried” to classic MTB songs like “Desert Skies”
and “Can’t You See”. After nearly 30 years, The Marshall Tucker Band
continues to be played on classic rock and country radio, and they
have never stopped touring. “We never play less than 150 shows a year,
and sometimes we play as many as 200 shows. We feel we owe it to the
fans who have supported us through the years to deliver the music in
person,” says Gray. “As we’ve become older,” Gray grins, eyes
twinkling, “our Southern heritage seems to come out even more. But no
matter how old we get, we can still rock your socks off.”
