Blues great Keb’ Mo’ returns to Orlando for two performances

For decades, the Grammy-winning singer and guitarist has been a living bridge — both between different eras of the blues and between that last great American artform and the rock world, the latter recently evidenced by Mo’ joining Guns N’ Roses axeman Slash at his Serpent Blues Festival to rip some solos last summer.

The dude is an ambassador for the blues, happily taking the music to unconventional stages like the White House, the Big Easy Cruise and the U.K.’s Glastonbury Festival.

Between this new round of touring — many dates were rescheduled from late last year when he had to have open-heart surgery — and an upcoming collab album with fellow blues giant Taj Mahal, this is shaping up to be Keb’ Mo’s year. Share a few hours with him at Judson’s this weekend.

6 p.m. and 8 p.m., Sunday, Jan. 19, Judson’s Live, Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, 445 S. Magnolia Ave., drphillipscenter.org, $99.50-$114.50.
