The Marcus King Band has announced its new keyboardist following the recent and sudden departure of longtime member DeShawn Alexander.
The southern rock band will now feature Peter Levin on keys while on tour, beginning with MKB’s Dead & Company afterparty at Boulder Theater on Saturday. Fans will recognize Levin and his style of playing from his time spent as the keyboardist in the Gregg Allman Band, in addition to the Blind Boys of Alabama.
Marcus King Band and their new keyboardist will continue their 2019 summer run on Sunday with their scheduled appearance at Quincy, CA’s High Sierra Music Festival. The band’s own run of headlining dates, in addition to select shows opening for Chris Stapleton, begin next week and continue throughout August and into late September. King will also team up with members of Soulive for the trio’s performance at NYC’s Brooklyn Bowl on Thursday, July 17th as part of their two-weekend “Bowlive” series of shows. The Marcus King Band recently wrapped a lengthy Carolina Confessions Tour with their own run of shows at the popular Brooklyn concert venue.
