SPECIAL GUEST JOHN CRUZ
With five GRAMMYs, 14 Blues Foundation Awards, and a groundbreaking career spanning nearly 50 years under his belt,
Keb’ Mo’ stands as one of the most accomplished and respected artists working in contemporary roots music today. He returns to Maui with his band for a MACC Al Fresco concert in the Yokouchi Pavilion.
Born and raised in Compton, California, Keb’ got his start working behind the scenes as a guitarist, songwriter, and arranger before breaking out internationally with the release of his 1994 self-titled debut, which earned widespread acclaim for its genre-bending take on old school sounds. In the decades that followed, Keb’ would go on to top the
Billboard Blues Chart seven times.
He has performed everywhere from Carnegie Hall to The White House; collaborate with luminaries like Taj Mahal, Vince Gill, Willie Nelson, Bonnie Raitt, The Chicks, and Lyle Lovett. He had his compositions recorded and sampled by artists as diverse as B.B. King, Zac Brown, and BTS. He released signature guitars with both Gibson and Martin. He composed music for television series like
Mike and Molly,
Memphis Beat,
B Positive, and
Martha Stewart Living, and appeared as himself in Martin Scorsese’s
The Blues, Aaron Sorkin’s
The West Wing, and the iconic children’s series
Sesame Street.
Keb’ earned the Americana Music Association’s 2021 award for Lifetime Achievement in Performance. Keb’s newest album,
Good To Be, weaves together the sounds of his childhood in Compton with the influences of his adopted hometown of Nashville, drawing on country, soul, and blues to craft a heartwarming tapestry that transcends genre and geography as it celebrates the power of love and resilience, growth and gratitude, hope and memory.
