Bobby Harden With Off Da Hook
About This Event
At Arthur's Tavern, Bobby Harden with Off Da Hook pairs Harden's Stax-rooted soul voice — noted by Eddie Floyd during Harden's time with the Blues Brothers Band — with a band from New York's jazz and free-improvisation scene. Off Da Hook's loose, responsive approach, tied to the venue's late-night circuit and a streaming profile that leans toward g-funk and West Coast hip hop, frames Harden's repertoire in an improvisational setting.
