Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
Self-taught singer/songwriter Taj Mahal has grooved with everyone from The Rolling Stones and Eric Clapton to blues progenitors like Buddy Guy, Howlin' Wolf, and Muddy Waters. Like his friend Ry Cooder, he navigated the twisting waters of the late '60s and '70s session scene of Santa Monica, before easing into his own career fusing funky reggae, soul, jazz, and world sounds into his bluesy template.
He's bringing his Caribbean-infused brand of blues to the Rhythm Room on Sunday, October 21, affording you the chance to jumpstart your workweek by having a little fun beforehand.
When Trans-Siberian Orchestra is in town, that can only mean one thing: Christmas is here. And what better way to celebrate it than this American prog metal band. They'll be wowing crowds at Jobing.com Arena on Saturday, December 1.
