About TajMo and the Room On The Porch Tour

Taj Mahal and Keb Mo are two of the most decorated blues artists of the last fifty years, and when they share a stage as TajMo, the chemistry is unmistakable. The collaboration began in earnest with the 2017 album TajMo, which won the 2018 Grammy for Best Contemporary Blues Album, hit number one on the Billboard Blues chart, and reintroduced a generation of fans to the warm front-porch style that both artists do best. Their new collaborative record, Room On The Porch, arrived in May 2025 on Concord Records and was nominated for the Grammy for Best Traditional Blues Album.

Taj Mahal -- born Henry Saint Clair Fredericks Jr. in 1942 in Harlem and raised in Springfield, Massachusetts -- has spent more than five decades helping to redefine what American blues can sound like. His 1968 self-titled debut album for Columbia became an instant landmark, blending Mississippi Delta blues with African and Caribbean traditions, and his catalog since has explored Hawaiian slack-key guitar, calypso, soul, country, and Hindustani rhythms. He has won multiple Grammys, received a Lifetime Achievement Grammy in 2022, and been inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame. You can learn more on his official site.

Keb Mo -- born Kevin Roosevelt Moore in 1951 in South Los Angeles -- emerged in the 1990s as a modern voice for acoustic blues. His 1994 self-titled Okeh Records debut earned him W.C. Handy nominations and put him on a path that has now included five Grammy wins -- Best Contemporary Blues Album for Just Like You (1997), Slow Down (1999), and Keep It Simple (2005); Best Contemporary Blues Album with Taj Mahal for TajMo (2018); and Best Americana Album for Oklahoma (2020). Keb Mo has crossed over to mainstream country and Americana audiences while keeping the heart of acoustic blues central to his work. His official site has the latest tour news.

The 2026 Room On The Porch Tour brings the duo back together for 13 dates across the United States from September 1 through September 26. The run opens at the elegant McCaw Hall in Seattle and includes stops at the Holly Theatre in Medford, the Mountain Winery in Saratoga, the Weill Hall at the Green Music Center in Rohnert Park, Humphreys Concerts By The Bay in San Diego, two shows at the Fox Tucson Theatre on September 13, and the historic Chautauqua Auditorium in Boulder on September 15. Theater rooms and outdoor amphitheaters are the rule -- the kind of intimate venues where every guitar tone and vocal phrase carries.

The tour wraps with a Texas-and-Louisiana run including the Texas Trust CU Theatre in Grand Prairie on September 22, the HEB Performance Hall at the Tobin Center in San Antonio on September 23, the Mahalia Jackson Theater in New Orleans on September 25, and the Houston Arena Theatre on September 26. Each of these is the kind of venue you would expect a blues legend to play -- big enough to draw a serious crowd but intimate enough that the music gets the room it needs.

What makes a TajMo night special is the way two seasoned artists make a big stage feel like a back porch. Taj and Keb trade lead vocals, swap guitar parts, share stories between songs, and lean into the loose, conversational rhythm that defines the front-porch tradition. Expect Diving Duck Blues, Statesboro Blues, City Boy, and Don't Leave Me Here, plus a healthy dose of new Room On The Porch material, all delivered with the kind of warmth and craft that has earned both artists their decades-long reputations.
