Toby Walker to Open for Taj Mahal Trio at SOPAC, 6/30

Roots music finger-style guitar wizard Toby Walker will open for World-Famous Bluesman Taj Mahal at SOPAC June 30 at 7:30 p.m. Toby blends the styles of Blues, Ragtime, Country, Bluegrass, Rock and old time Jazz into his own unique style. In 2010 Walker won the NY Music Award for 'Best Instrumental CD,' sharing the honors with Mariah Carey, Rufus Wainwright and Judy Collins among many others.

SOPAC is thrilled to host these two extraordinary musicians. This unique roster of talent promises a night of rockin' blues that will envelop you in a gritty, powerful, elemental experience of soul-searing roots music.
