Steve Cropper is one of the most influential guitarists and composers in the history of popular music. On July 19, we are celebrating his life, career and lasting contributions to music with a live, career-spanning interview.

By crafting the signature sound of Stax Records and modern soul music, Cropper became one of a very select few people to be enshrined in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Musicians Hall of Fame. He co-wrote some of the most iconic songs of the 20th Century, including “(Sittin’ On) The Dock of Bay,” “In the Midnight Hour,” “Knock on Wood” and “Green Onions.”

As a young artist in Memphis, TN, Cropper became the guitarist of the legendary Stax Records house band, called Booker T. and the MG’s. Later on, he was a member of the Blues Brothers band, appearing in the iconic movie alongside John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd.

This special, one time only event will feature Cropper in conversation with public radio journalist and author Craig Havighurst. They will discuss many facets of Cropper’s creativity, his influences, and his legacy. It will also include audience Q&A.

Tickets are available now- $20 GA; $50 VIP (includes a signed copy of “The Blues Brothers” DVD) and $100 VIP, Meet & Greet with Steve himself.
