All this week, Natalie has your chance to win a pair of tickets to see the Marshall Tucker Band with special guest Outlaw Jim & the Whiskey Benders on Friday, May 15, at Knuckleheads! 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 signature tune of MTB’s late co-founding lead guitarist and then-principal songwriter Toy Caldwell), the testifying “Fire on the Mountain,” the wanderlust gallop of “Long Hard Ride,” and the explosive testimony of “Ramblin,’” to name but a few.
Outlaw Jim and the Whiskey Benders are a hard-hittin’ outlaw country band with roots in the sounds of Waylon Jennings and Merle Haggard, as well as influences from New Orleans funk and southern rock. They have traveled extensively in the Midwest and South, playing festivals, concerts, private events, and the beloved honky-tonks along the way. They have played the Grand Ole Opry Plaza parties and famous venues on Lower Broadway in Nashville, numerous bars and festivals in New Orleans, and mountain towns in the Rocky Mountains.
