Experience John Scofield live on October 14th

John Scofield will perform at Ludlow Garage in Cincinnati, Ohio on October 14, 2026. Scofield is a highly influential jazz guitarist known for his distinctive improvisational style, blending post-bop jazz with elements of rock, funk, and world music. His playing is characterized by a lyrical melodic sense, sophisticated harmonic approach, and a recognizable tone often achieved through use of effects. Throughout his career, he has collaborated with numerous prominent musicians including Miles Davis, Joe Henderson, and Pat Metheny, leading both his own ensembles and appearing as a sideman on countless recordings.

Ludlow Garage is a historic venue located in the Clifton neighborhood of Cincinnati. Originally established in 1968 as a folk music club, it quickly became a significant stop on the touring circuit for nationally recognized artists across various genres including rock, blues and jazz. The venue gained particular prominence in the early 1970s hosting performances by artists like Bruce Springsteen, Bonnie Raitt and James Taylor before temporarily closing in 1989. It underwent extensive renovations and reopened in 2004 as a non-profit organization dedicated to presenting live music.
