Appearances at Great Southern and Caloundra Festivals.
Niche Productions will be presenting Booker T. Jones – live and direct from Memphis, Tennessee. From legendary soul staples like ‘Green Onions’, ‘Time Is Tight’ and ‘Melting Pot’ to producing for Bill Withers and Willie Nelson, the multi instrumentalist and producer has most recently teamed up with ?uestlove and The Roots for his new album
The Road From Memphis.
The Road From Memphis was recorded with Philadelphian Hip-Hop band The Roots and engineer Gabriel Roth of The Dap Kings fame. Also featured on the recording were guitarist Dennis Coffey, Sharon Jones, Yim Yames (My Morning Jacket), Matt Berninger (The National) and Lou Reed.
Recently Jones has also recorded with Elton John, Neil Young, Drive By Truckers, and Rancid, and won a Grammy Lifetime Achievement in 2007 and was inducted in to the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in 1992.
With a different show performed every night expect a mix of MG hits, Stax music, newly recorded music from Booker's latest two solo albums, and even some brand new, unrecorded music!
