Booker T. Jones

Watching Booker T. Jones on stage is to witness living, breathing history come alive. With a music career dating back to 1961 with the legendary Stax Records, Jones has played for many greats in the music industry, including his own band, Booker T. & the M.G.’s.
Jones’ significance to the music industry is hard to understand until you see him live and he rattles off hit song after hit song you’ve undoubtedly heard, but never knew he performed on. From the anthemic blues tune “Green Onions,” to Otis Redding’s soul classic “Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay,” all the way to Dylan’s “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door,” which he played bass on, Jones still performs all the fan favorites. In addition to the hits he played on, some of the more fun moments in a Booker T. Jones show, is when he plays hits by the artists he’s influenced. From Lauryn Hill’s “Everything Is Everything” to Prince’s “Purple Rain,” Jones breaks off, in a fantastic soulful fashion, some of the best songs in the popular music canon. A chance to see Booker T. Jones is worth every cent. So, treat yourself.

Seeing Charlie Wilson live was such a treat for me and my husband. I'd been listening to his music for years and jumped at the opportunity to see his concert.
He's a joy to see and gets the crowd really involved by asking questions right at the start and introducing his music.He was dressed in a really snazzy white suit. He didn't talk that long and jumped right into the show. I was excited to see two ladies walk on stage in white costumes waving these magnificent sheer wings to the music. It was stunning. They were collapsible and when they stood with their arms straight up, they were like stretched out fans glistening in the lights.His rich voice filled the room and the crowd was silent for a time, then they started singing the chorus with him.
Charlie really got into the music. My favorites were "Turn Off The Lights" and "Life of the Party".He's quite the performer. He plays his new stuff and some of the great older stuff as well. I was worried I might not get to hear some of the classics, so I was really excited. He encouraged the fans to sing along and it was so enjoyable.
