About Ritenour

Yoshi's bio counts 45 albums and 16 Grammy nominations over a five-decade career that runs from '70s fusion to the '90s supergroup Fourplay, plus thousands of sessions with artists including Frank Sinatra, Pink Floyd and B.B. King. His solo guitar album Dreamcatcher came after his Malibu home and studio burned down in 2018, a fire he says destroyed about 100 of his guitars.

Tuesday's show falls on Election Day, so it's a good night to vote early first.
