This iconic American guitarist, NEA Jazz Master and 10-time GRAMMY winner has the rare distinction of being in the pop consciousness while remaining in the pantheon of jazz greats.
As a singer-songwriter, George Benson fearlessly follows the melody across genres and eras, as well as defies expectations with elegance and imagination. His honeyed vocals, guitar lines that veer from lyrical to dazzling, and his penchant for slick grooves have led to collaborations with musicians like Stevie Wonder, Quincy Jones, Idina Menzel, Steve Aoki, and the Gorillaz. At the age of nearly 80, he has been recording albums for seven decades, starting his career at the age of nine.
George will play iconic cuts from his legendary albums as well as songs from his most recent album Weekend in London.
The Chandler Center for the Arts is an engaging, welcoming, innovative space serving a diverse community. Located in the vibrant center of Downtown Chandler, it is a continually evolving location using creativity and inspiration to bring people together through performances and exhibitions.
