Marshall Tucker Band
May 9, 2011
The Marshall Tucker Band is currently performing in Iraq and Kuwait with the Stars for Stripes and playing for United States' troops.
"In light of recent events, I can't even tell you how honored we are to perform for our men and women in uniform," said Marshall Tucker lead singer, founding member and Vietnam veteran Doug Gray. "We are so excited to be able to bring a smile and a taste of home to these fine folks. This will be a very special time for us."
With four stops in Iraq and one in Kuwait, The Marshall Tucker Band will departed on Tuesday, May 3 and will return May 11th. Troops can expect to hear Marshall Tucker classics performed, including "Can't You See," "Heard It In A Love Song," "Fire On The Mountain" and "24 Hours At A Time."
This year marks the band's 40th year since forming in 1971. In celebration of the milestone, "The Marshall Tucker Band: Greatest Hits" was released in April 2011, in addition to Doug Gray's 30-year-old lost solo recordings, "Soul Of The South."
