Keb' Mo'

On 10 June 2026 at Union Chapel, London, Keb’ Mo’ brings a grounded blend of blues and contemporary Americana. Born Kevin Roosevelt Moore in Los Angeles, he came up through R&B bands and a stint as guitarist with Papa John Creach before adopting the Keb’ Mo’ moniker in the mid-90s. His 1994 self-titled album set the tone for an approach that refreshes rural blues with personal writing, clear melodies and a guitar style that balances fingerpicked acoustic lines with restrained electric colors, shaded by folk, country and soul.

Live, his songs land with an easy cadence: everyday scenes, close-up relationships and quiet social currents carried by warm vocals and unhurried grooves. The repertoire spans across albums like Just Like You, Keep It Simple, BLUESAmericana, Oklahoma and Good To Be…, with the collaborative TajMo alongside Taj Mahal as a touchpoint. At Union Chapel, that mix of storytelling and steady rhythm sits close to the bone, letting the details breathe and the choruses linger long after the last note.
