Vocalist

Boz Scaggs is an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist. An early bandmate of Steve Miller in The Ardells and the Steve Miller Band, he began his solo career in 1969, though he lacked a major hit until his 1976 album Silk Degrees peaked at Number 2 on the Billboard 200, and produced the hit singles “Lido Shuffle” and “Lowdown”. Scaggs produced two more platinum-certified albums in Down Two Then Left and Middle Man, the latter of which produced two Top-40 singles “Breakdown Dead Ahead” and “Jojo”. After a hiatus for most of the 1980s, he returned to recording and touring in 1988, joining The New York Rock and Soul Revue and opening the nightclub Slim’s, a popular San Francisco music venue until it closed in 2020. He has continued to record and tour throughout the 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s, with his most recent album being 2018’s Out of the Blues.

Few artists captured that spirit like Boz Scaggs. His 1976 album Silk Degrees wasn’t just a hit — it became part of the decade’s musical fabric. The slick, sophisticated rhythm of “Lowdown,” with its irresistible bassline and shimmering keys, could have been pulsing from the speakers of a muscle car on a long night drive. “Lido Shuffle” carried the reckless abandon of a road trip, all swagger and momentum, while ballads like “We’re All Alone” echoed with late-night wistfulness, the kind that lingers in the air like the last song at a dimly lit bar.
