Keb' Mo'

"SUNSET MUSIC SERIES"
This event occurs in the past, July 10
Newport Yachting Center,, Newport, RI   (view map)

Filed under: singer-songwriter, contemporary blues, rhythm and blues, delta blues, blues

Over the last decade, Keb’ Mo’ has honed the artistic persona of thoughtful traditionalist rather than the entertainment persona of party boy. As such, the modern bluesman veers away from a chunk of the competition. His tunes are mellower than those of your average boogie band. That occasionally makes ’em ho-hum, too, but in the large there’s something sweet about the way Mo’ does business — credit the sizable influence of Taj Mahal that helps sculpt his sound. He has a new disc, The Reflection (Yollabelle/Ryko), hitting in a month. Get ready for some fresh tunes at the Newport Yachting Center, America’s Cup Avenue, at 7 pm | $100 + $55 + $35, proceeds benefit the International Tennis Hall of Fame & Museum | 401.846.1600 | newportwaterfrontevents.com
