Architect of the Memphis soul sound, and one of modern music’s most acclaimed figures, Booker T. Jones comes to The Parkway!
As leader of the legendary Booker T. & the MGs, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, and multiple GRAMMY Award winner and Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Booker T. Jones is arguably the most famous Hammond B3 player in history.
From an early age, Booker T. Jones was captivated by the magic of melody, rhythm, and harmony. So magnetic was the attraction, in fact, that by the time he turned sixteen, he was, incredibly, already a working musician with a hit song to his name.
Booker formed the category-defining group Booker T. & the MGs, whose first recording, “Green Onions,” was an international sensation, selling more than one million copies and winning a place among Rolling Stone’s top five hundred songs of all time. Not stopping there, Jones continued to push soul music’s boundaries, refining it to its essence and then injecting it into the nation’s bloodstream. Nearly five decades after he first made his entrance onto the scene, Jones paved the way for modern soul music and is largely responsible for the genre’s rise and enduring popularity.
