Taj Mahal

To celebrate his 70th year, Taj Mahal’s been touring as a back-to-basics solo performer. With a career that spans 50 years and began with his revitalization of traditional country blues, the Harlem-born guitarist expanded his musical palette to encompass African, Caribbean, Latin American, European, Hawaiian influences, and even jazz. The night before a Gruene Hall appearance, he’ll distill them together in an intimate showcase of his prodigious talent. 7 & 9:30pm. – Jay Trachtenberg
