Guitarist Kevin Eubanks to perform
Sunday, October 8 at Wildey Theatre

Guitarist Kevin Eubanks and his band are returning to the St. Louis area to perform in concert at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, October 8 at the Wildey Theatre in Edwardsville.

Eubanks (pictured) first gained wide attention in the jazz world in the 1980s, but probably still is best known to the general public for his stint as bandleader for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno from 1992 to 2010.

Since Leno stepped down, Eubanks has refocused on his music career, working with bassist Dave Holland in the band Prism, touring with his own group, and putting out a couple of well-received albums, the most recent being 2016's East West Time Line. He last performed in St. Louis in October 2015 at Jazz at the Bistro.

Tickets for Eubanks' show at the Wildey are $50 each, and are on sale now.
