For more than 25 years, the Marshall Tucker Band continues to be played on classic rock and country radio – and they have never stopped touring. Years of rigorous tour schedules earned the band the respect of critics and countless dedicated fans. With hit singles like “Heard it in a Love Song,” “Fire On The Mountain,” “Can’t You See” and “Take The Highway,” MTB earned seven gold and three platinum albums. During the 90s, MTB scored four hit singles on Billboard’s country chart and one on Billboard’s gospel chart. Their music has also been featured on the soundtracks of movies such as Smokey and the Bandit, The Pursuit of D.B. Cooper and Shipwrecked. The Marshall Tucker Band got its start in Spartanburg, South Carolina, when Doug Gray teamed up with Tommy and Toy Caldwell, Paul T. Riddle, George McCorkle and Jerry Eubanks, borrowing the name “Marshall Tucker” from a piano tuner who’s name was found on a key ring in their old rehearsal space. In years to come, The Marshall Tucker Band would wow critics and influence major country acts like Alabama, The Kentucky Headhunters, Confederate Railroad and Travis Tritt with its definitive blend of rock, rhythm & blues, jazz, country and gospel. The MTB shows no signs of slowing down, continuing to tour the country.
