PATCHOGUE, NY — Grammy Award-winning Blues singer Keb'Mo' will take the stage of the Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts on June 14.

Keb'Mo has a groundbreaking music career that spans five decades — years that brought in five Grammys and 14 Blues Foundation Awards, not to mention numerous collaborations with musical legends and appearances on television and movies, according to promotional material for the concert.

He has performed everywhere from Carnegie Hall to The White House, and has collaborated with luminaries like Taj Mahal, Vince Gill, Willie Nelson, Bonnie Raitt, The Chicks, and Lyle Lovett. His compositions have been recorded and sampled by artists from B.B. King, Zac Brown, and BTS.

He has composed music for television series like "Mike and Molly," "Memphis Beat," "B Positive," and "Martha Stewart Living," as well as appeared as himself in Martin Scorcese’s "The Blues," Aaron Sorkin’s "The West Wing, and "Sesame Street."

He earned the Americana Music Association’s award for Lifetime Achievement in Performance in 2021.

He was born and raised in Compton, California, and got his start working behind the scenes as a guitarist, songwriter, and arranger before breaking out internationally with the release of his 1994 self-titled debut.

His newest album, "Good To Be," weaves the sounds of his Compton childhood with the influences of Nashville, TN, "drawing on country, soul, and blues to craft a heartwarming tapestry that transcends genre and geography as it celebrates the power of love and resilience, growth and gratitude, hope, and memory," promotional material states.
