Taj Mahal at the Depot October 18

Taj Mahal Celebrates Four Decades of Blues, Roots, Reggae and Beyond
Composer and multi-instrumentalist Taj Mahal, a two-time GRAMMY winner and one of the most influential American blues and roots artists of the past half-century, has made no Faustian deals in his long and distinguished career, but he stands at an important crossroads nonetheless. In his never-ending exploration of the complex origins and underpinnings of American music, he has forged a four-decade career by gathering and distilling countless musical traditions from a range of geographical and cultural sources.

On September 30, 2008, he makes his Heads Up International debut with the worldwide release of Maestro (HUCD 3164). This twelve-track set- his first U.S. release in five years. New Album Maestro Includes Guest Appearances By:
Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, Angelique Kidjo, Los Lobos, Ziggy Marley and more
