The Clive Davis Theater seats 200, which is about the right size for one acoustic guitar. On Tuesday, October 27, at 7:30 p.m., the Grammy Museum at L.A. Live hosts An Evening With Keb’ Mo’.

The museum describes a conversation with the five-time Grammy winner about his album The Breakdown, his creative process and more, followed by a special performance. It calls the record a solo acoustic collection that blends folk, blues, jazz and soul. The museum does not name a moderator.

The gospel sextet Take 6 appears on “They Don’t Make ‘Em Like They Used To” and the Soweto Gospel Choir on “Hand It Over.” The first single was “Fussing and Fighting,” and the album follows 2021’s Good To Be.
