Keb’ Mo’ plays Avo Session
The Blues singer Keb' Mo', who is actually named Kevin Moore, grew up in California, but now he lives in New Orleans. During the quest to find his own kind of music, he discovered archaic blues pioneer Robert Johnson, who became one of his most important sources of inspiration. The refined simplicity of his guitar playing, his freedom in form and the stories that Johnson told his listeners influenced Keb’ Mo’ deeply. The difference is that Robert Johnson, who would have celebrated his 100th birthday in May 2011, was paid in food and whiskey back in his days. These days, Keb' Mo' is rewarded with Grammys for his work. At AVO SESSION, Keb’ Mo’ plays his best known hits as well as songs from his new album ‘The Reflection’. He is joined by Jeff Paris, Keyboards, Guitar, Mandolin, Les Falconer, Drums, Vail Johnson, Bass, Kevin So, Keyboards and Michael B. Hicks, Organ.
