Taj Mahal

Every singer-songwriter has musical influences. But it's hard to think of another performer of Taj Mahal's stature whose influences are so wildly varied.

Townsquare Media of Casper is pleased to announce that the Beartrap Summer Festival is back for its 18th year! This year’s festival on August 6th and 7th will feature headliner Taj Mahal plus an exciting line-up of bluegrass bands and some brand new events.

In 1997, Taj's Senor Blues album won Best Contemporary Blues Recording at that year's Grammy awards.  Check out a great track from that album - "Having A Real Bad Day".  See him live on the Sunday stage this year at Beartrap.

Taj Mahal took to the ocean in a 2006 Blues Cruise - where he sang the blues of the big butt variety.  Get your butt to the mountain August 7 to see him live at Beartrap.

Check out a Taj Mahal performance from Germany, featuring his song "The Walking Blues".  Catch him live at 2011's Beartrap Summer Festival!
