Boz Scaggs is continuing his “Out of the Blues” tour, named for his 2018 studio album.
In 2019, the singer, songwriter and guitarist had postponed the tour due to undisclosed health reasons. It was then postponed due to the pandemic. It resumed in 2021.
With regard to the pandemic, Scaggs notes, “Be safe, stay healthy, and look out for one another.”
Out of the Blues arrived via Concord Records. The album was produced by Scaggs and includes vintage classics and originals.

After gaining fame in the 1960s as a guitarist and one-time lead singer with the Steve Miller Band, Scaggs earned six solo Top 20 hit singles from 1976 – 1980, including “Lowdown” and “Lido Shuffle” from the critically acclaimed Silk Degrees. That album reached number two in the U.S. and #1 in many other countries, leading to a sold-out world tour. Although he spent much of the ’80s in retirement, operating San Francisco nightclub Slim’s, he made his comeback in 1988 with the record Other Roads. Since 2010, Scaggs has occasionally been performing with supergroup The Dukes of September alongside Steely Dan’s Donald Fagen and Michael McDonald.
Scaggs turned 78 on June 8, 2022.
Out of the Blues follows 2015’s A Fool to Care and 2013’s Memphis. The album features performances by guitarists Doyle Bramhall II, Ray Parker Jr. and Charlie Sexton, bassist Willie Weeks, drummer Jim Keltner and keyboardist Jim Cox, as well as longtime friend Jack Walroth on guitar, harmonica and percussion.
