Boz Scaggs is a Grammy winning, multi-genre artist who has been making rock and roll, R&B, jazz and pop music for over 50 years.
While he was born William Royce Scaggs, he goes by Boz, short for Bosley—a nickname given to Scaggs by a classmate while he attended prep school in Dallas, Texas.
It was at prep school where Scaggs first met Steve Miller, and the two also went to college together at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Scaggs played with Steve Miller in numerous projects, most notably the Steve Miller Band, where he served as the group’s guitarist and occasional lead singer during the late ’60s.
His self-titled 1969 album, produced by Rolling Stone cofounder Jann Wenner, was recorded at Alabama’s Muscle Shoals Sound Studio and included the contributions of a young Duane Allman.
Scaggs broke through commercially with 1976’s Silk Degrees, which reached No. 2 on the charts and spawned the hits “Lowdown,” “Lido Shuffle,” “What Can I Say,” and “It’s Over.”
Three of the accompanying studio musicians on Silk Degrees—David Paich, Jeff Porcaro, and David Hungate—went on to form the band Toto.
While he has been nominated for seven Grammy Awards, his sole win came for “Lowdown,” which was named Best Rhythm & Blues Song in 1976.
In 1988, Scaggs opened a San Francisco nightclub called Slim’s, and remained an owner until its closure in 2020.
In 2010, he formed supergroup The Dukes of September, alongside Michael McDonald and Donald Fagen.
