American singer, songwriter and guitar warrior, William Royce “Boz” Scaggs, became a household name as a member of the Steve Miller Band and award-laden solo career.
After a short stint as a bandmate of Steve Miller, Boz began his solo career and hit the charts with singles “Lido Shuffle” and “Lowdown,” from album Silk Degrees, and followed it up with two more platinum-certified albums.
Boz spent a large portion of the ’80s in a hiatus, but returned to recording and touring in 1988, even opening a popular music venue in San Francisco. His touring and recording has lasted for several decades, cementing his role as a guitar legend. He’s even credited with helping the formation of Toto. His friendship with former-bandmate-turned-Toto has continued for decades, resulting in collaborations and concerts performed together.
