Marquise Knox USA

Hail­ing from St. Louis, Mis­souri, Mar­quise Knox comes from a fam­i­ly with the blues run­ning deep in their veins. His grand­moth­er Lil­lie taught him how to play the gui­tar, while his great-uncle Clif­ford passed on the fin­er points of the craft. Under the guid­ance of blues icon Hen­ry Townsend, he dis­cov­ered that true blues isn’t just about chords — it’s about play­ing with heart and soul.

Now 34, Knox’s sound breathes tra­di­tion: warm in tone, relaxed yet razor-sharp in groove. He tours the world, but the spir­it of his home­town echoes through every note. He stands as liv­ing proof that the future of the blues is in good hands.
