Taj Mahal Trio Announce One Auckland Show

Taj Mahal Trio Announce One Auckland Show


Two-time Grammy winner TAJ MAHAL announced last year that he will be joining legendary guitarist SANTANA and American rockers THE STEVE MILLER BAND in Christchurch on 17th March before heading north to join the amazing JOAN ARMATRADING in Wellington on the 20th March.

Now the world-class musical collaborator, widely lauded for his distinct blend of Afro-Caribbean blues, funk and folk music is announcing his own show on Monday 18th March at Auckland’s fantastic Powerstation.

This is the perfect opportunity for Mahal’s Auckland fans to get to see the singer, composer, producer, musician’s advocate, world traveller, fisherman or cigar aficionado – all accurate titles by the way – perform his own show. The kind of show he is renowned for; a show full of the warmth, humour and soulfulness of Taj and his music.

A 2009 inductee into the Blues Hall of Fame, Taj Mahal has also received nine Grammy Award nominations over his career spanning more than 40 years and won two of these. The first win in 1997 with Best Contemporary Blues Album for Senor Blues, and then again in 2000 with Shoutin’ in Key.

Do not miss this rare opportunity to see this incredible artist up close and personal. Cue the music: ‘Linda Lou’, ‘Fishin’ Blues’ & ‘Paint My Mailbox Blue’ for starters – and let the good times roll!
