About This Event
Hailed by Rolling Stone as a provider of "classic soul and horn-heavy R&B soaked with the blues," and dubbed the "king of rhythm & soul" by MOJO, Eli Paperboy Reed is a veteran force in modern roots music.

Produced by legendary R&B iconoclast Swamp Dogg, Reed's album Getting There delivers a rich, mature blend of soul, gospel, country, and blues.
