“Due North” EP, by The Marcus King Band, Released October 27th

The Marcus King Band announced that they will be releasing a new four-song collection titled, Due North, on October 27^th. The digital-only EP features four songs, three of which were recorded during their sessions at The Carriage House Studio in Stamford, CT, for their sophomore album, The Marcus King Band, with producer, Warren Haynes, as well and a fourth live recording: an epic 15-minute medley of the band’s “Sharry Barry,” “Sliced Milk” (Jeff Sipe cover), “25 Or 6 To 4” (Chicago cover), “I’ll Stay” (Funkadelic cover), and “Gloomy Sunday” (famously covered by Billie Holiday).

“The Due North EP is a love note from the band of words we didn’t get to say,” explains frontman Marcus King. “Songs that are a big part of our live repertoire that we would like to share with everyone. Also included is a recording of the ‘Sharry Barry’ medley from Chicago last winter to give a taste of MKB recorded live.”

In addition to “Sharry Barry,” the EP features two other original compositions, “What’s Right” and “Slip Back,” along with a cover of the Marshall Tucker Band’s “This Ol’ Cowboy.”

Track List:

1. What’s Right
