The young guitar prodigy Taz has had a huge year. From sitting in with Tedeschi Trucks Band, Umphrey’s McGee, Twiddle, and many others to touring heavily and playing festivals with his solo band, Brandon “Taz” Niederauer becomes more of a force within the live music scene each year.
Today, Taz announced the dates and locations for his upcoming fall tour with his solo band, which span from September to December and will see Taz and company travel across the U.S., with select stops in Canada and Japan. Taz’s tour begins in Fredericton, Canada this weekend, followed by performances in Teaneck, New Jersey, on September 21st and in Chittenango, New York, on September 22nd.
On September 29th, Taz will stop through Brooklyn Comes Alive to lead an all-star tribute to Gregg Allman, Butch Trucks, and Col. Bruce Hampton featuring George Porter Jr. (The Meters), Adam Smirnoff (Lettuce), Jeff Sipe (Aquarium Rescue Unit), Peter Levin, and Elise Testone at Brooklyn Comes Alive.
Rounding into October, Taz will kick off the month in Memphis with a two-night stand on October 6th and 7th. From there, the guitarist will travel to Houma, Louisiana, for shows on the 12th and 13th before heading to Tokyo, Japan, where he will play two, two-night runs from October 20th to 21st and October 23rd to 24th.
Returning to the United States, the beginning of November will see Taz stop through Providence, Rhode Island, and Albany, New York, ahead of shows in Roslyn, New York, and Bridgeport, Connecticut, on November 16th and 17th, respectively. To close out his fall tour, Taz will stop through Washington, D.C.; Annapolis, Maryland; Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania; New York City; and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
