Boasting a career full of and defined by colourful twists and turns, unexpected whimsical ventures, and a commitment to a muse that has long preferred freewheeling innovation to conformity—Taj Mahal is the two-time Grammy winning singer, songwriter, film composer, guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, and recipient of the Lifetime Achievement for Performance Award at the 13th Annual Americana Honors and Awards. His 2008 Heads Up International recording Maestro marked the 40th anniversary of his recording career and featured performances by Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, Angelique Kidjo, Los Lobos, Ziggy Marley and others—many of whom have been directly influenced by Mahal’s music and guidance.
Special Guest Bettye LaVette will open the concert.
