| Making their Clearwater debut, the Capitol Theatre presents The Marshall Tucker Band on Saturday, May 27 at 8 pm. The Marshall Tucker Band earned seven gold and three platinum albums with hit singles like Heard It In a Love Song, Fire On The Mountain, Can’t You See and Take The Highway. More than 40 years after forming, The Marshall Tucker Band continues to tour, performing more than 130 live dates each year. The Marshall Tucker Band records on its own RAMBLIN’ RECORDS Label (distributed by Sony/RED) and continues to release new and previously unreleased material. Still led today by founding member and lead singer Doug Gray, they represent a time and place in music that will never be duplicated. Gray is quick to credit the band’s current dynamic members with carrying on the timeless essence of The Marshall Tucker Band sound. Current members include the highly respected drummer B.B. Borden, a former member of both Mother’s Finest and The Outlaws, multi-instrumentalist Marcus Henderson of Macon, Georgia, plays flute, saxophone and keyboards in addition to lead and background vocals, Tony Black on bass guitar and Rick Willis on lead guitar and vocals, both of Spartanburg SC, are disciples of the Caldwell Brothers. Acclaimed lead guitarist and vocalist Chris Hicks recently rejoined the band after a two-year absence. Together they present a powerful stage presence as they continue to tour the country and continue to be a powerful force in the world of music.
