Blues-Rock Singer Songwriter Boz Scaggs Brings His
Popular
and Critically Acclaimed Music
to Santa Rosa - July 10 & 11
Santa Rosa, CA (June 22, 2007) - Boz Scaggs, the
man with the silken voice who brought you such classic hits as "Slow
Dancer," "Lowdown," "Lido
Shuffle," and "Harbor Lights," takes the stage July 10th and 11th
at the Wells Fargo Center for the Arts. Touring in support of his
album, Fade Into Light, fans will
be treated to many of their favorite Boz Scaggs' songs, performed
like they've never heard them before. Intimate, understated, distinguished
by the interplay of a handful of virtuoso musicians and the smooth
voice of one of the classic singers of our time, the concert will
feature Boz Scaggs introducing new material and revisiting old
classics with subtlety, elegance, and flair.
"I just let the musicians explore the songs, and I tried to get
the best out of them," says Scaggs of the simple philosophy behind
the recording sessions that produced Fade Into Light. "To
a great extent, I've always worked like that in my recording: I hire
good musicians and let them express themselves."
Scagg's latest repertoire includes "unplugged" versions of "Lowdown," "We're
All Alone" and "Harbor Lights," three classics from the multi-platinum Silk
Degrees album from 1976; a spare and haunting rendition
of "Simone," from 1980's Middle Man; "Lost
It," "Time," "Sierra" and "I'll Be the One," from 1988's acclaimed Other
Roads; the new originals "Some Things Happen," "Fade
Into Light" and "Just Go" (which also appeared on the 1999 collection My
Time: A Boz Scaggs Anthology); and a cover of "Love
TKO," the Teddy Pendergrass hit that Boz says he's wanted to record
ever since he first heard it.
Boz Scaggs takes the stage July 10 and 11 at 8pm at the Wells Fargo
Center for the Arts. Tickets ($19.50, $45, $65) are available at
the Box Office located at 50 Mark West Springs Road in Santa Rosa
