The Marshall Tucker Band Launches Their 2023 ‘Infinite Road Tour’
Iconic southern rock and country group The Marshall Tucker Band (MTB) is headed back on tour to play five decades worth of music for their 2023 “Infinite Road Tour.”
More than 30 dates have been revealed for the first leg of the national tour. Concert stops include Jacksonville, Florida (w/Deep Purple); Derry, New Hampshire; Rutland, Vermont; Cincinnati, Ohio; Atlanta, Georgia (w/Alabama); Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Bushkill, Pennsylvania (w/Lynyrd Skynyrd) and Batavia, New York.
“We are looking forward to another big year for The Marshall Tucker Band,” says MTB lead singer Doug Gray. “It’s overwhelming to see so many fans coming out to our shows over 50 years after we started. Old friends bring their children and grandchildren, enabling growth for a new crop of fans. There is no end in sight. Infinity!”
Just last month, the band’s namesake, Marshall Tucker, passed away on Jan. 20 at the age of 99. In 1972, The Marshall Tucker Band came together in Spartanburg, South Carolina to form a southern rock group. One day while rehearsing in a Spartanburg warehouse, they found an old key ring inscribed with the name ‘Marshall Tucker.’ The band thought it was the name of the warehouse but as it turns out, it belonged to a blind piano tuner who resided in the area. It was this fated discovery that inspired the band’s moniker, and in that moment, The Marshall Tucker Band was born.
“Marshall Tucker’s name will continue in our thoughts as we embark on our “Infinite Road Tour,”” notes Gray. “He never asked for fame but sometimes life unfolds in mysterious ways. Without his name, who knows where we would be today. We salute you into your infinite journey, Mr. Tucker!”
