The following description comes from the event organizer.

Booker T Jones is a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, four time GRAMMY winner and arguably the most famous Hammond B3 player in history. As leader of the legendary Booker T and the MGs, this pillar of soul music collaborated with Otis Redding, Albert King, and more during his tenure at Stax Records.  

The MGs’ smash-hit single “Green Onions” sold over 1 million copies, is ranked No. 181 in Rolling Stones 500 greatest songs of all time and is the only instrumental on the list.

Since then, Booker has lent his trademark keyboard chops to and produced classic albums such as Willie Nelson’s multi-platinum hit Stardust and Bill Withers’ Just As I Am featuring the hit song “Ain’t No Sunshine”.

Don’t miss a true legend.
