Nashville, Tenn. (October 3, 2016) - On October 28, multi-platinum selling southern rock group The Marshall Tucker Band (MTB) will return to Atlanta to help celebrate the grand re-opening of the newly renovated Variety Playhouse. "We are extremely excited and honored that The Marshall Tucker Band has agreed to join in on our celebration of a new era for the Variety Playhouse," says Variety's Scott Orvold. "We spent well over a year preparing and renovating our building. We are confident that the Variety Playhouse will be considered one of the best venues in the country and will continue to carry the legacy that Steve Harris and his staff began."

It's been years since the MTB last played Atlanta and the group couldn't be more thrilled to once again perform in the Big Peach.

"Georgia helped premiere The Marshall Tucker Band back when we started this life journey 45 years ago," notes MTB lead singer, Doug Gray. "Atlanta was like a second home to us so it means a lot to return to a place with so much Marshall Tucker history. The Variety Playhouse also has a lot of history, as we have performed there over the years. We're so happy to help celebrate its re-opening. It's been waaaay too long!"

Orvold adds, "We look forward to celebrating the pearl that is Variety Playhouse on October 28th and seize the opportunity to see and listen to the legendary music of The Marshall Tucker Band!"
