12-time Grammy nominee Keb’ Mo’ coming to Scottsdale

Posted

American blues roots master Keb’ Mo’ will bring his sounds to Scottsdale this month.

He plays at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 28 at the Virginia G. Piper Theater inside the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, 7380 E. 2nd St.

Over the past two decades, Mo’ has cultivated a reputation as a modern master of American roots music. A 12-time Grammy nominee, he’s a four-time winner in the Best Contemporary Blues Album category, and his 2019 release, “Oklahoma,” was named Best Americana Album.

Artists who have recorded his songs include B.B. King, Buddy Guy, The Chicks, Joe Cocker, Robert Palmer, Tom Jones, Melissa Manchester, Solomon Burke, and the Zac Brown Band to name a few. The list of artist collaborations he has been part of includes Bonnie Raitt, Taj Mahal, Vince Gill, Amy Grant, Jackson Browne, Natalie Cole, Lyle Lovett, India Arie, James Cotton, Bobby Rush, Timothy B. Schmit, Marcus Miller, and more.

His guitar playing has garnered him two invites to Eric Clapton’s acclaimed Crossroads Festival and has inspired Gibson Brands to issue the Keb’ Mo’ Signature Bluesmaster and Bluesmaster Royale acoustic guitars and Martin Guitars to issue the HD-28KM Keb’ Mo’ Limited Edition Signature model.

Mo’ has also been awarded 14 Blues Foundation Awards and six BMI Awards for his work in television and film. In addition to acting, he has written music for “Martha Stewart Living,” “Mike & Molly,” and “Memphis Beat.”

Anthony D’Amato will open the show in Scottsdale.
