Taj Mahal and Keb' Mo' - Room On The Porch Tour
'Keb' Mo' is the stage name of longtime blues musician Kevin Roosevelt Moore. Though born in South Los Angeles, he was heavily immersed in the Delta blues style, which was originally developed in the fertile plains of the Mississippi. His music fuses it together with aspects of modern rock, jazz, folk and country. Writing much of his own material, Keb' Mo' projects positive vibes with his bluesy singing and intricate guitar work. He has also made occasional acting forays into TV shows and documentary films.'

Keb' Mo' began his career in the 1970s as a backup band member and songwriter. Showing proficiency with the guitar, he signed a deal with Chocolate City Records in 1980 and released his debut solo project called
Rainmaker
under the name Kevin Moore. After a long and productive foray through the world of blues as a key collaborator with the likes of Albert Collins, Big Joe Turner and other blues royalty, Keb' Mo' finally returned following a 14-year hiatus to release a second solo album, the self-titled
Keb' Mo'
, which won the W.C. Handy Award for Best Country/Acoustic Blues Album of the Year. On the strength of his guitar skills, the album
Just Like You
in 1996 would begin a remarkable run of Grammy Awards for Best Contemporary Blues Album. He would win the award again in 1998 for
Slow Down
, receive another nomination in 2000 for
The Door
and win a third time in 2004 for
Keep it Simple
. The albums
Suitcase
in 2006 and
The Reflection
in 2011 both culminated in two more Grammy nominations. He would have another Grammy breakthrough in Best Contemporary Blues Album for his collaboration with the blues musician
Taj Mahal
. Altogether, Keb' Mo' has received 11 Grammy Award nominations in total for his unique contributions to the genre. On the festival circuit, Keb' Mo' has been featured at Eric Clapton's prestigious
Crossroads Guitar Festival
in 2010, 2013 and 2019.
''Keb' Mo' tickets are available to purchase at StubHub, which can meet all of your needs for any concert, game or theater performance.'

To coincide with the release of the album
Oklahoma
on June 14th, Keb' Mo' is embarking on his Oklahoma tour in the second half of the year. He is currently planning to visit locations around the United States, including
Blue Note Hawaii
in Honolulu, the
Moore Theatre
in Seattle and the
Paramount Theatre
in Austin, TX. Keb' Mo' will perform with
Jontavious Willis
on certain stops of the tour.
''Keb' Mo' plays a selection of favorite songs, including Rita, Life Is Beautiful, I Remember You, Just Like You, Oklahoma, You Can Love Yourself, Every Morning, Suitcase, Tell Everybody I Know, Soon as I Get Paid, Henry, Government Cheese, More Than One Way Home, The Door, Old Me Better, This Is My Home, Am I Wrong, Hand It Over, She Just Wants to Dance and City Boy. In addition, he performs covers of (Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay by Otis Redding and Come On in My Kitchen by Robert Johnson. The setlist may be subject to change from one event to another.'
'Keb' Mo' sings and plays guitar on all of his songs while performing with his band. He frequently switches between electric guitar, acoustic guitar, resonator guitar and a banjo. When he is performing with another blues musician, you should expect a highly collaborative and interactive performance between them.'
'A typical concert can last anywhere between an hour or two, depending on the event.'
'If you enjoy the serene blues of Keb' Mo', then you might want to check out his Grammy-winning collaborator Taj Mahal.'
