Taj Farrant
CRITIC’S PICK: This 14 year old Australian guitarist has such a strong buzz on him that he’s headlining this prestigious venue before releasing an official album, and at a surprisingly high ticket price. Farrant’s handful of streaming songs like the recent “Bad Trip” steers him in a Robert Cray-styled direction, pulling off melodic, quicksilver guitar solos while singing with soul and conviction rare for his young age. — Hal Horowitz

From the venue:
Taj Farrant may be young, but his natural musical ability surpasses his age. This down to earth Aussie kid is more than passionate about playing guitar and is clearly a natural born rocker through and through.
Taj is fortunate to have a very supportive family, helping guide and encourage his passion, with freedom and balance to enjoy playing and perfect his techniques while still enjoying kid stuff too. Taj has already picked up some huge endorsements world wide.
