Keb' Mo'

The Grammy Museum is thrilled to welcome five-time Grammy Award-winning artist Keb’ Mo’ for an evening discussing the release of his recent album, The Breakdown, his creative process, and more, with a special performance in the Museum’s intimate 200-seat Clive Davis Theater.

With five Grammys, 14 Blues Foundation Awards, and a groundbreaking career spanning more than 50 years, Keb’ Mo’ stands as one of the most accomplished and respected artists working in contemporary roots music today. Born and raised in Compton, Keb’ got his start behind the scenes as a guitarist, songwriter, and arranger before breaking out internationally with his 1994 self-titled debut, which earned widespread acclaim for its genre-bending take on old school sounds. In the decades that followed, Keb’ would go on to top the Billboard Blues Chart eight times; perform everywhere from Carnegie Hall to The White House; collaborate with luminaries like Taj Mahal, Willie Nelson, Bonnie Raitt, The Chicks, and Lyle Lovett; have his compositions recorded and sampled by artists as diverse as B.B. King, Zac Brown, and BTS; release signature guitars with both Gibson and Martin; compose music for a slew of television series; appear as himself in Martin Scorcese’s The Blues, Aaron Sorkin’s The West Wing, and the iconic children’s series Sesame Street; and earn the Americana Music Association’s 2021 award for Lifetime Achievement in Performance.

Keb’s latest album, The Breakdown, strips his songwriting back to its most raw and revealing, blending folk, blues, jazz, and soul music across a series of intimate, solo acoustic performances that grapple with the passage of time and the inevitability of change while still holding on firmly to the hope, faith, and love that have always guided him.
