Bobby Harden With Off Da Hook
About This Event
Bobby Harden, who joined the Blues Brothers Band in 2012 as one of two singers supporting Stax veteran Eddie Floyd—who recognized similar qualities in him—performs at Arthur's Tavern with the improvising ensemble Off Da Hook. Off Da Hook, a group tied to the venue and the city's late-night club circuit, works in jazz and free-improvisation and favors looseness and quick-response interplay over fixed arrangements.
