(TUCKERTON, NJ) -- On Wednesday, July 19, 2023 the Lizzie Rose Music Room presents an all-ages show starring twenty year old guitar slinger Brandon "Taz" Niederauer. Nicknamed "Taz" for his ferocious guitar playing, he is living proof that dreams really can come true.
During his short career he has already performed in many legendary venues in America and across the world with some of the most prominent musicians of our time. The rising guitarist, singer, and songwriter has earned himself quite the reputation as a stellar player.
When he was just ten years old, he was a guest on the Ellen Degeneres Show followed by appearances on Good Morning America and The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.
At twelve years old Brandon's advanced guitar skills earned him his Broadway debut in School of Rock the Musical in the principal role of guitarist “Zack Mooneyham”. The Andew Lloyd Weber production was nominated for multiple Tony Awards.
Now at twenty, Taz has since toured the world and played with many of his musical idols including members of the Allman Brothers Band, Gregg Allman, Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes, Butch Trucks, and Oteil Burbridge, as well as notable musicians, including Buddy Guy, Stevie Nicks, Lady Gaga, Slash, Jon Batiste, John Mayer, Dweezil Zappa, Eric Gales, George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic, Dr. John, Gary Clark Jr., George Porter Jr., Robert Randolph, John Popper (of Blues Traveler), Tedeschi Trucks Band, Dumpstaphunk, Blackberry Smoke and countless others.
"Brandon is playing from pure, real ‘what’ and ‘how’ and intent and he’s going for it and you can hear it like music and get off to it and dance to it. So, yeah…I dig it. I dig it. The fact that he’s young is secondary." - John Mayer
