Brandon "Taz" Niederauer in Concert at Lizzie Rose Music Room

Twenty-year-old Brandon Niederauer, nicknamed “Taz” for his ferocious guitar playing, is living proof that dreams really do come true.

When he was twelve years old Brandon's advanced guitar skills earned him his Broadway debut in the the principal role of guitarist “Zack Mooneyham” in the Tony Award-nominated Andrew Lloyd Webber production, School of Rock the Musical.

Brandon has 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
