Preorder Marcus King’s new album, Mood Swings, on vinyl or CD from Grimey’s (in the record store or right here) and receive a wristband with your preorder to participate in King’s April 5th album signing! King will be hanging out with us starting at 12:00 PM (noon) and signing copies of his new album before he heads out of town to perform a show with Chris Stapleton, a little teaser for King’s upcoming headlining tour in May. Mood Swings is available to preorder here now on limited edition orange colored vinyl and CD, both of which include a signing wristband. Due to the special nature of this event, preorders are limited to 2 per format, per customer.

Our signing event with Marcus King is an in-person only event, and all preorder customers must be present in order to have their albums signed. This preorder is for local, store pickup only. For each album preordered, customers will receive one wristband per preorder, where 2 preordered albums = 2 wristbands, etc. Preorders are limited to 2 per format, per customer. (Kids 12 & under do not require a wristband but must be with a wristbanded adult to participate.) You can read more about our release day signing event with Marcus King on our event page here.

Marcus King faces heartache, addiction, and mental health head-on in his music. Pain quakes below the vibrato of his voice, and his delivery weighs heavy with booze-drenched regrets and mistakes in lonely hotels. The GRAMMY® nominated fourth generation musician from Greenville, SC, started playing guitar at 8-years-old following in the footsteps of his guitarist Father and Grandpa. Logging thousands of miles on the road as “The Marcus King Band,” he established himself with unparalleled performance prowess. During 2020, he linked up with Dan Auerbach and cut his solo debut El Dorado, garnering a GRAMMY® Award nomination for “Best Americana Album.” Between headlining venues, he performed alongside Chris Stapleton, Greta Van Fleet, and Nathanial Rateliff in addition to gracing the bills of Stagecoach and more. He has launched various mental health initiatives, including a guitar auction collaboration with MusiCares.

King is back now with his 2024 album Mood Swings—it feels like the moment of baptism when water washes away a life’s worth of sins and degradation and all that’s left is a revived, yet still real-as-hell primal scream. It’s as if he strained raw soul straight from his gut up through that broken heart and on to the record under the watchful eye of Rick Rubin. Emphasizing his vocals front-and-center more than ever before, the trusty guitar he’s so often associated with plays the sideman this time around (though there’s no shortage of impressive shredding). For as dark as everything seemed, you can’t help but feel a sense of hope in the power of Marcus’s voice.
