Keb' Mo' and his blues return to Strathmore on Saturday

One jam-packed blues concert always deserves an encore, right? After the success of last year’s Strathmore season-opener that teemed with the soulful sounds of the blues, guitarist Keb’ Mo’ revisits the D.C. area Saturday — same time, same place. This year’s concert, however, will run the gamut from jazz and soul to pop, gospel and beyond.

“There won’t be any pyrotechnics, no dancers; no horn section, either. But we do have some songs,” said the three-time Grammy Award winner describing this year’s tour. “We just have some people who are really excited to come and play, and we hope everybody leaves happy.”
