MTB fans are sure to recognize the tour’s name and what it means to the band and its followers.  The Marshall Tucker Band’s 1975 album, Searchin’ For A Rainbow,  achieved double-platinum status and included “Fire On the Mountain” and “Can’t You See.”

“It’s looking like 2015 is shaping up to be our biggest tour schedule in years,” MTB leader Doug Gray said.  “We’re adding new concerts to the books nearly every day and our booking agent can’t answer the calls fast enough.  We are so thankful that our fans have stuck with us for over four decades and continue to pack our shows.  We’re still out there Searchin’ for that Rainbow.”
