Kenny G live in Tucson

Experience Kenny G live on June 14th

Kenny G is scheduled to perform at the Rialto Theatre in Tucson, Arizona on June 14, 2026. He is widely recognized as a prominent figure in smooth jazz, a genre characterized by its instrumental focus, melodic emphasis, and incorporation of elements from R&B, pop, and adult contemporary music. Kenny G gained significant popularity in the 1980s and 1990s with hits like "Songbird” and is known for his distinctive soprano saxophone playing style and breath control.

The Rialto Theatre itself has a rich history within Tucson. Originally opened in 1927 as a vaudeville house and movie palace, it operated continuously as a cinema until 1968. Following a period of disuse and deterioration, the City of Tucson purchased the building in 1978. Extensive renovations were undertaken, and it reopened in 1982 as a performing arts venue. The theatre now hosts a diverse range of events including concerts, theatrical performances, dance recitals, and film screenings. It’s architectural style reflects Spanish Colonial Revival influences and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
