John Scofield live in Seattle

Experience John Scofield live on November 6th

John Scofield will perform at Neptune Theatre in Seattle, Washington on November 6, 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. Throughout his career, he’s explored diverse sonic territories, often characterized by lyrical melodies alongside complex harmonic structures and a blues-infused sensibility. He has led numerous ensembles and collaborated with prominent musicians across genres including Miles Davis, Joe Henderson, and Pat Metheny.

The Neptune Theatre originally opened in 1921 as a grand movie palace during the height of the silent film era. Designed by architects B. Marcus Priteca and Frederick Anhalt, it showcased opulent interiors and hosted vaudeville performances alongside films. After periods of decline and closure, the theatre underwent significant restoration in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Today, the Neptune operates primarily as a live music venue hosting a wide range of national and international touring acts. Its architecture retains many original features contributing to its historical character while accommodating modern performance requirements.
