Hennepin Theatre Trust announced today that blues legends Taj Mahal and Keb' Mo' is bringing their new national tour TAJMO: THE Taj Mahal AND KEB' MO' BAND to the historic State Theatre (805 Hennepin Ave., Minneapolis) on Wednesday, Sept. 6 at 7:30 p.m.

The duo's full-band tour will support their first album, "TajMo," set for a May 5 release.

TAJMO is a historic collaboration between two generations of blues giants, converging their singular talents for the first time ever on an album of original songs and covers, featuring cameos from Bonnie Raitt, Joe Walsh, Sheila E. and Lizz Wright. The album was self-produced by the duo and was recorded by Zach Allen, John Caldwell and Casey Wasner at Nashville's Stu Stu Studio.

Taj Mahal has been recording and performing his unmistakable blend of blues and world music for more than 50 years, winning multiple Grammys and collaborating with the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton and more along the way. Keb' Mo', who has often cited Taj as one of his musical heroes, is a three-time Grammy winner who has collaborated with everyone from Raitt to Jackson Browne and Buddy Guy.

"TajMo" is available now for pre-order at tajmo.com.
