On Thursday, May 28, Taj Mahal and Keb’ Mo’ returned to New York for an intimate performance at The Town Hall. In a focused and stirring seven-track set, the blues masters celebrated the release of their new TajMo record Room On The Porch, which arrived as the long-awaited follow-up to the duo’s 2017 Grammy-winning self-titled project. On their latest album and summer tour so far, the torchbearing talents have picked up right where they left off in advancing the music and culture that’s sustained them for all these years. In Thursday’s performance, the tried and true duo brought out new tracks like “Room on the Porch,” essentials from their solo catalogs like “Queen Bee” and “She Just Wants to Dance” and a set-closing cover of Sleepy John Estes’ classic “Diving Duck Blues.”
