Boz Scaggs makes his Maui debut
‘I’m fortunate that I can do the things I really want to do and enjoy, and there’s a broad range of music I’m interested in.’
– Boz Scaggs
We can thank Grammy Award-winning conductor/arranger Matt Catingub and his Hawaii Romance Festival for luring Boz Scaggs to Maui. The legendary entertainer will make his Maui debut on Monday backed by the 30-member Matt Catingub Orchestra, following a Mother’s Day festival concert at Waikiki’s Royal Hawaiian Hotel.
These unique concerts mark only a couple of a handful of times that Boz has performed with an orchestra.
“I’ve only done a few of these in my life,” he explains. “It’s another way of doing music that I don’t do often, and I’m exploring the possibility of doing more of them. I’ve been hearing about Matt Catingub for a number of years. He’s a really gifted musician and musician friends of mine have been telling me about him, and now we have an opportunity to work together. In the last few years, I’ve done some standards records, and I’m just releasing a new one. It opens possibilities for me to play in symphony settings, so this is a bit of a trial run.
