On Friday, July 5 at 8pm, Premier Concerts will present legendary singer, songwriter and guitarist Boz Scaggs at the Warner Theatre. Concert will include selections from his new record "Memphis" along with his hits, "Slow Dancer, Lowdown, Lido Shuffle, Look What You've Done to Me" and more.

A casual listen to the Boz Scaggs discography makes one thing obvious: Boz Scaggs is both a musical seeker and a man of sizable talent as a singer, songwriter and guitarist. His explorations in blues and R&B, Rock and Jazz have produced lasting work and a career that has brought with it acclaim, a loyal following, and an enduring respect among musicians.

Born in Texas and raised with an abiding respect for a wide spectrum of American roots music, Scaggs has combined rock, jazz, R&B and blues to create a trademark sound. With an extensive and distinctive career that has spanned 30 years and many accolades, Scaggs continues to prove himself as one of music's most creative and original artists.

With MEMPHIS, his first studio album in five years, Scaggs looks back musically and biographically. (His father and grandparents are fromMemphis, as is his wife.) "I had been thinking about a record that involved going back into my past and finding songs that match my style and my voice," Scaggs says. With producer Steve Jordan and a crack band he puts a distinctive touch on classics like "Rainy Night inGeorgia," "Corinna Corinna," and "Mixed Up, Shook Up Girl," as well as on a couple of originals. Thirteen tracks were recorded in three days at the city's landmark Royal Studios, where the late Willie Mitchell produced so many of Al Green's and Anne Peebles' legendary albums.

Supporting artist will be Nashville singer/songwriter Rayland Baxter. His songs are a calming force for anyone looking for change, for love, or wanting to walk in a different direction-because it was his own quest for all those things that motivated the music.
