Concert by American singer-songwriter Boz Scaggs as part of his Rhythm Review 2026 tour at Bass Concert Hall.
Boz Scaggs plays the Bass Concert Hall on Thursday, October 1, as part of Texas Performing Arts Presents. He's touring under the name Rhythm Review 2026, and the show starts at 7 PM.
If you're not familiar with the name, Scaggs is an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist who's been at this since 1969. He started his solo career after a stint as an early bandmate of Steve Miller in The Ardells and the Steve Miller Band, and he's spent the decades since moving between R&B, blue-eyed soul, and pop. His 1976 album Silk Degrees hit number 2 on the Billboard 200 and gave us "Lido Shuffle" and "Lowdown," two of the songs most people know him by. He followed that with two more platinum-certified records, Down Two Then Left and Middle Man.
There's a bit of a gap in the middle: he stepped away for most of the 1980s, then returned in 1988. After that, he joined The New York Rock and Soul Revue and opened the San Francisco nightclub Slim's. His most recent album, Out of the Blues, came out in 2018. He's also got a claim to fame that doesn't always get mentioned: he's credited with helping to form Toto. The musicians he hand-picked for Silk Degrees — David Paich, David Hungate, and Jeff Porcaro — went on to become the band. The connection didn't stop there, either; Paich contributed to six of the 11 songs on Scaggs' 2001 album Dig.
