Timeline

1991

Marquise Knox (born February 8, 1991) is an American blues rock singer, guitarist, and songwriter.

Knox has performed alongside B.B. King, Pinetop Perkins and David "Honeyboy" Edwards.

He has also performed at dozens of festivals, and toured across the US and Europe.

He was born in St. Louis, Missouri, in a musical family whose roots originate in the cotton fields in country near Grenada, Mississippi, at the time of slavery in the United States.

His great uncle, Joe, purchased a plastic Mickey Mouse guitar for him when he was three years old, but he did not learn how to play for another few years.

When at school he boasted he could play the guitar, and his teacher invited him to perform as part of a black history program, Knox turned back to his family for help.

His grandmother, Lilly Mae, showed him the basics on a six string acoustic guitar.

Knox progressed and learned his first number, Jimmy Reed's "You Don't Have To Go".

Another great uncle, Clifford, who was a talented amateur guitarist, then helped expand Knox's playing expertise, and ensure that he got bought his first proper guitar.

Lilly and Clifford became major influences in Knox's blues music upbringing.

By the age of 11, Knox got noticed mimicking older musicians and, within a couple of years, local blues musicians were inviting Knox to sit in on their jam sessions.

Through his grandmother and great uncle Clifford, Knox traveled to meet Boo Boo Davis and Big George Brock in Grenada.

It transpired that Knox and Brock were distantly related.

Further trips there saw Knox able to play alongside David "Honeyboy" Edwards, Pinetop Perkins, Louisiana Red, and Hubert Sumlin.

Knox later commented on those times, "I learned from Big George and Henry Townsend not so much music, but more to stay dedicated to the music and not let the older history of the struggle, the blackness, die out".

2005

In 2005, Knox performed at the Baby Blues Showcase in St. Louis, which drew much approval from the audience.

2007

During a visit to Clarksdale, Mississippi in 2007, Knox met Sam Lay, who organised for Knox to perform at the Blues Masters at the Crossroads, at the Blue Heaven Studios in Salina, Kansas.

The reaction was such that Knox was signed to a three album contract with APO Records.

2009

This led to him recording his debut album, Man Child (2009), with Michael Burks and his ensemble at Blue Heaven Studios.

The release won the Living Blues 'Best Debut Artist Award' and Knox got nominated for a Blues Music Award in the 'Best Debut Artist' category.

2010

In 2010, Knox recorded his self-titled sophomore album.

2011

His third album, Here I Am (2011), was again recorded at the Blue Heaven Studios in Salina, Kansas.

Here I Am contained nine tracks written by Knox, plus three reinventions of old Muddy Waters numbers.

By this stage, Knox was only 20 years old with albums released and opening shows for B.B. King.

Although not inactive, Knox did not record another full album's worth of material for another five years.

Knox stated, "People kept telling me how young I was. I was raising my own kids. I wanted to figure out how to do this... I didn't stop playing, but I didn't feel the need to record until it finally hit".

2012

In 2012, Knox purchased property in the country and moved there with his love, Angie Shepard.

It enabled him to connect with his children, concentrate on creating music and keep up his interests in history, politics and the community.

Lazy Lester played both harmonica and guitar on the recording.
