Prepare for an unforgettable evening of Southern soul, blues, and R&B as musical architect Booker T. Jones takes the stage. Best known as the leader of the legendary Booker T. & the M.G.’s, Booker T. is the man responsible for shaping the gritty, infectious sound of Stax Records.
While fans can expect to hear the unmistakable, foot-stomping instrumental anthems that defined an era – like “Green Onions,” “Time Is Tight,” and “Melting Pot” – this special quartet performance showcases the full depth of Booker’s musicality. Moving beyond the Hammond B3, the evening highlights a revelatory selection of vocal performances. Booker steps up to the microphone to sing a rich array of soul staples, including his iconic blues masterpiece, “Born Under a Bad Sign,” a song he famously co-wrote for Albert King that went on to be covered by everyone from Cream to Jimi Hendrix.
Backed by a razor-sharp rhythm section, Booker T. weaves these heavy grooves and vocal tracks together with intimate, firsthand stories from his unparalleled career collaborating with Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Bob Dylan, and more. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see a living legend command the room with a perfect balance of blistering instrumentals and deep soul vocals.
