Experience John Scofield live on November 8th

John Scofield will perform at the Boulder Theater in Boulder, Colorado on November 8, 2026. Scofield is a highly influential jazz guitarist known for his distinctive improvisational style blending elements of jazz fusion, post-bop, and funk. Throughout his career, he has demonstrated a consistent ability to absorb diverse musical influences – including rock, country, and electronic music – into his core jazz vocabulary. He’s collaborated with numerous prominent musicians such as Miles Davis, Joe Henderson, and Pat Metheny.

The Boulder Theater originally opened in 1906 as the Boulder Opera House, hosting vaudeville acts and traveling performances. Over the decades it transitioned through various uses including a movie theater. In 1973, it was purchased by local residents and renovated specifically for live performances. The venue is recognized for its intimate setting and excellent acoustics. It’s listed on the National Register of Historic Places and remains a significant cultural landmark in Boulder, hosting a wide range of musical genres alongside comedy shows and other events. The building retains much of its original architectural detail while accommodating modern sound and lighting systems.
