Boz Scaggs performs his hits and music from his new release, A Fool to Care, at Mayo Performing Arts Center, on Wednesday, July 29, 2015 at 8 pm. Tickets are $49-99.
Another spellbinding album in a prolific career, A Fool to Care boasts Scaggs' pioneering blend of rock, soul, jazz and R&B taken to new heights. A Fool To Care showcases the patchwork of influences and innovations that make up a
Boz Scaggs album.and sees Scaggs letting loose and having some fun. You can hear that sense of fun, as well as his ability and willingness to wander in any musical direction throughout these twelve tracks. The inspirational heart of the album lies in the sounds of Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma that played such a vital role in shaping Scaggs' musical sensibility, but they venture forth boldly from there.
Raised in Texas with an abiding respect for a wide spectrum of American roots music, William Royce "Boz" Scaggs began a long and storied career in 1965 with the release of his first solo recording Boz. After cutting his teeth playing with Steve Miller and honing his rock and R&B chops with the likes of the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section and Duane Allman, Scaggs achieved multi-platinum success with Silk Degrees in 1976. Among his hits are "Lowdown," "Lido Shuffle" and "What Can I Say." He has continued on a lauded and multi-genre musical journey to the present day. With a trademark voice, a rich catalogue and many accolades, Scaggs continues to establish himself as one of music's most creative and original artists.
