SUMMARY:Boney James
DESCRIPTION:Thu. Oct. 29: BONEY JAMES -7:30pm- Tix: $95.00 ($119.70 throu
 gh Ticketmaster\, $102.00 at the Birchmere Box Office) Boney James — A S
 imple Man | Three decades into a career built on deep groove\, melodic i
 nstinct and a saxophone voice unmistakably his own\, Boney James is stil
 l finding new ground. On A Simple Man\, his milestone 20th studio album\
 , out October 2 via Concord Records\, the multi-platinum saxophonist\, c
 omposer and producer delivers one of his most personal records. James’ c
 atalog has generated more than two billion on-demand streams in the Unit
 ed States. His honors include four GRAMMY nominations\, three NAACP Imag
 e Award nominations\, four RIAA Gold-certified records and a Soul Train 
 Award. Billboard named him one of the Top 3 Contemporary Jazz Artists of
  the 2000s\, and in 2024 he became the first artist to score 20 No. 1 si
 ngles on the Billboard Smooth Jazz chart. Recent collaborations have als
 o earned him two Top 10 hits at Adult R&B. For James\, A Simple Man refl
 ects a growing desire to strip away distraction and focus on what matter
 s most. “As I’ve gotten older\, I’ve realized I don’t need a lot to make
  me happy\,” he says. “I love making music and playing my saxophone.” Th
 at clarity runs through the new album. GRAMMY-winning vocalist Ledisi jo
 ins him on the warm contemporary R&B duet “I Belong To You\,” while accl
 aimed trumpeter Marquis Hill appears on “Morocco” and legendary guitaris
 t Larry Carlton guests on the Steely Dan-influenced “Storybook.” James a
 lso reimagines Ellington’s “In a Sentimental Mood” over a D’Angelo-inspi
 red groove. James’ R&B foundation runs deep. He turned professional at 1
 9 and spent his formative years touring with Morris Day\, The Isley Brot
 hers\, Teena Marie and others before stepping forward with his 1992 debu
 t\, Trust. More than three decades later\, he remains focused not on pre
 serving a legacy\, but on continuing to grow. On A Simple Man James’s pl
 aying is warmer\, deeper and stronger than ever — and\, 20 albums in\, h
 e is still making progress. And that may be the clearest expression of A
  Simple Man: an artist who\, after more than three decades\, knows more 
 clearly than ever what matters. Artist Website: https://boneyjames.com\n
