CONCERT SPONSOR: The State Auto Group
- Artists:
- Booker T. Band
- Venue:
- Lincoln Theatre
- Map/Directions
Show Description:
With Booker T. and the MGs he led one of the first-ever integrated groups to soul immortality. As a producer, he has helmed sessions for million sellers. With his new Anti- Records release Potato Hole, Hammond B3 alchemist and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Booker T. Jones has written the boldest, most dramatic chapter of his fifty year career. With backing from the Drive-By Truckers and guitar contributions from Neil Young on nine of the album’s ten tracks, Potato Hole is the rawest, funkiest music Booker T. has recorded since his archetypal hit “Green Onions.” Featuring a mixture of newly written songs and a trio of intriguing covers (including OutKast’s “Hey Ya!”), Potato Hole captures Booker T. at the critical peak of a renewed creative phase in his storied career.
Booker T. was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1992 with his group the MGs and in 2007, he also earned a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, also for his work with the MGs. In 2010, Booker T. scored his first-ever Grammy as a solo artist, winning the Best Pop Instrumental Album trophy for Potato Hole. His production credits include Bill Withers’ debut album Just As I Am, and Willie Nelson’s Stardust.
The Inside Track series is presented by the Jazz Arts Group with ongoing support from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Ohio Arts Council, the Greater Columbus Arts Council and the Columbus Foundation.
