Boz Scaggs Coming to bergenPAC, 4/27

Bergen Performing Arts Center located at 30 North Van Brunt Street in Englewood, New Jersey presents: Boz Scaggs-Wednesday, April 27, 2016 at 8PM. Purchase tickets at www.ticketmaster.com or Box Office at 201.227.1030.

"Lowdown", "Lido Shuffle", "Jojo" - these are just a few of the classic hits that have made Boz Scaggs a household name. Fans who have followed his remarkable career dating back to the late 60s with the Steve Miller Band; his solo triumphs with such classic albums as Silk Degrees and Middle Man; and the splendid assurance of late-period high points like Some Change and Dig, instantly recognize Scaggs' characteristically deft touch as a singer - something that is immediately evident on his spellbinding new album, A Fool to Care. "I'm at a point where I'm having a lot of fun with music, more than ever," Boz says about his spellbinding new album, A Fool to Care.

His soul is effortless and deeply felt, never making a show of itself, but unmistakably evident in every lyric he delivers. He brings a sly drawl to a funky workout like Li'l Millet and the Creoles' "Rich Woman," a conversational intimacy to Bobby Charles's "Small Town Talk," and an elegant delicacy to the Impressions' "I'm So Proud." He easily negotiates the Latin flavoring of "Last Tango on 16th Street" and "I Want to See You," both written by San Francisco bluesman (and longtime Scaggs compatriot) Jack Walroth. His soul is effortless and deeply felt, never making a show of itself, but unmistakably evident in every lyric he delivers.

Boz Scaggs is renowned among his fans and fellow musicians as one of America's preeminent R&B artists. A singer, songwriter and guitarist, Scaggs had several records and a solid fan base behind him when his 1975 album Silk Degrees became one of the landmark pop records of the decade. Subsequent releases ushered in more hits and years of touring.
