How To Book KEB' MO' For Your Event!
Keb' Mo'
may be available for your next special event!
In a historical sense, if any artist can be said to rule Billboard's Top
Blues Albums chart, it is L.A.-bred singer/songwriter Keb' Mo' –
black English for Kevin Moore. In fact, Keb' Mo' has never been absent
from the chart during the course of its existence. His denominative 1994 debut peaked on
Top Blues Albums the week it was initiated in September 1995; it enjoyed a 72-week stay,
topping off at No. 4. For 28 weeks, both his debut album and his album "Just
Like You" were on the chart simultaneously.
 Keb' Mo' has won his share of critical accolades.
"Just Like You" won a 1997 Grammy Award as best contemporary
blues album, and the musician was named acoustic blues artist of the year at the 1997 W.C.
Handy Awards. Those who have been intimately involved with the development of the
bluesman's career ascribe his success to the pop-conscious way in which he presents his
music.
Keb' came to the genre late. His early professional resume included work
in rock/R&B fiddler Papa John Creach's band, a 1980 R&B-inflected solo album for
Casablanca, and a stint with the vocal group The Rose Brothers. However, his work as a
guitarist in Monk Higgins' group and his later interest in the music of blues legend
Robert Johnson (to whom he bears an uncanny physical resemblance) led Moore to fuse his
pop and blues sensibilities as Keb' Mo'.
Kevin'll
be the first to tell you he's not a bluesman...What he's done is, he's spanned the gap,
like Bonnie Raitt, like
Robert Cray
– artists who are probably most comfortable and at home with the blues
but are taking it a step further. I'm not quite sure that it's actually
calculated that way, as much as it is simply an extension of their
expression.
 Keb' Mo' says of one of his recent records, "I
don't even know what it is. There's a lot of blues on it, but there's a lot of stuff
that's not blues...I just go right from the hip, I go from the moment, and I know what the
record is when I'm done with it. I'll probably catch a little heat. You gotta catch a
little heat. If you don't catch a little heat, you didn't really try to do
nothin'."
 Keb's fans have packed his live performances all over North America
and Europe including major US tours with
Celine Dion (Spring '97) and
Bonnie Raitt (Spring '98), and countless headlining gigs.
Keb' Mo' has torn the house down with his sets at the New
Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, the Chicago Blues Festival, the
Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, and Holland's North Sea Jazz
Festival. His television performances include "The Late Show With
David Letterman," "The
Rosie O'Donnell Show,"
"Sessions At West 54th," "Conan O'Brien" and
"Touched By An Angel." Keb' also hosted the special "Best
of the Blues" anniversary edition of "Austin City
Limits."
Hits include: "Life Is Beautiful",
"The Whole Enchilada", "Do It Right",
"The Worst Is Yet To Come".

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO BOOK/HIRE THIS ARTIST?
(i.e., what is the fee of this artist for an event?)
(i.e., what is this artist charging to perform at an event?)
Official booking fees for this artist, or any other celebrity, are
determined based on a number of factors and may change at anytime without prior
notice.
Factors influencing pricing vary and may include date, location, type of
event, whether a private party or a public concert, the artist's calendar,
whether the artist is on tour or not, how well tickets are selling at the
artist's concerts, the current demand for the artist's music, market activity, etc.
As you might expect, the more in-demand the artist is, the more buyers are
prepared to pay. Of course, this causes the artist's price to increase as
the artist becomes more popular, or decrease when becoming less popular.
Exclusive agents with exclusive representation frequently quote a
range instead of a specific price, since changes can occur at anytime.
Generally, the
artist's manager has a role in the decision to accept any
particular offer from a talent buyer.
To learn the most current artist's pricing, or the estimated
artist's fee for your particular event, simply click on the "Booking
