Bobby Harden With Off Da Hook
About This Event
Bobby Harden, whom Stax veteran Eddie Floyd singled out after Harden joined the Blues Brothers Band in 2012, brings a soul-and-blues vocal approach to Arthur’s Tavern. He is billed with Off Da Hook, a loose jazz and free-improvisation group tied to the venue whose quick-response playing and g-funk/West Coast hip-hop streaming tags position the night between club jazz and improvised groove.
