If anyone knows where to find the blues, it’s Taj Mahal, a brilliant artist with a musicologist’s mind. Here, he has pursued and elevated the roots of beloved sounds with boundless devotion and skill. Then, as he traced origins to the American South, the Caribbean, Africa, and elsewhere, he created entirely new sounds. As a result, rock-and-roll icons such as Eric Clapton and the Rolling Stones revere him. Also, ambitious artists toiling in obscurity who are determined to combine sounds in new ways view him as a hero. No one combines tradition and avant-garde approaches as seamlessly. Come hear hits such as “Lovin’ in My Baby’s Eyes”, Queen Bee”, & “Everybody is Somebody”. Mahal remains an active force in roots music across a career spanning more than six decades. In 2025, he received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Also, he won Best Traditional Blues Album for his collaboration with Keb’ Mo’ on Get On Board.
Taj Mahal and the Phantom Blues Band form a collaboration between the blues legend and a top-tier backing band. The Phantom Blues Band formed in the 1990s to back Taj Mahal on his album Dancing the Blues. Then, they embarked on a successful career in their own right while continuing to tour and record with Mahal. Moreover, they blend various genres like blues, jazz, R&B, and rock. Additionally, the band members themselves are accomplished studio musicians who have worked with many famous artists.
