Experience The Wooten Brothers live on November 17th

The Wooten Brothers are scheduled to perform at the Taft Theatre in Cincinnati, Ohio on November 17, 2026. The duo, comprised of brothers Roy and Victor Wooten, are known for their innovative and highly influential instrumental music blending elements of jazz, funk, soul, and bluegrass. Victor Wooten is particularly renowned for his groundbreaking bass playing techniques, while Roy contributes vocals and guitar, often incorporating complex harmonies and improvisation into their performances. Their music frequently emphasizes positive themes and spiritual exploration.

The Taft Theatre originally opened in 1929 as a movie palace and vaudeville house designed by prominent theatre architects Malachowsky & Associates. It operated successfully for decades showcasing films and live performances before falling into disrepair in the late 20th century. A significant restoration project completed in 2007 revitalized the venue, returning it to its former grandeur. Today, the Taft Theatre functions as a multi-purpose performance space hosting concerts, Broadway shows, comedy acts, and other events. The building is noted for its ornate architectural details including its lavish plasterwork and atmospheric lighting features; it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
