Nashville, Tenn. (June 14, 2022) — Last Thursday at the Carolina Country Music Fest in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Governor Henry McMaster proclaimed the day, June 9, 2022, as "Marshall Tucker Band Day” across the Palmetto State.
Legendary southern rock and country outfit The Marshall Tucker Band (MTB) was performing on-stage before a sea of live concertgoers when the state's 93rd Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evette surprised the group with the honor.
"My heart was shaking as we accepted this great honor,” says MTB lead singer and founding member Doug Gray. "We will never forget that we are from the great state of South Carolina! Proud is the word of the day!”
The MTB was performing at the Carolina Country Music Fest during a stop on its national “50th Anniversary Tour.” For tour dates, visit marshalltucker.com.
