“Booker T. Jones is one of the legends of soul music.” — The New Yorker
The one and only Booker T. Jones lights up the Lensic stage this October. A pillar of soul music, his collaborations with the likes Otis Redding and Albert King during his tenure at Stax Records, the groundbreaking Memphis record label, were definitive moments of the genre. Jones is a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, and arguably the most famous Hammond B3 player in history.
