TAZ Livestream Event from Jimmy's Jazz and Blues Club

On March 8, 2026, Jimmy's Jazz & Blues Club in Portsmouth hosts a livestream set from Brandon “TAZ” Niederauer, a guitarist and singer rooted in rock, blues and improvisation. He picked up the guitar at eight after discovering School of Rock, then landed on Broadway as Zack Mooneyham in School of Rock the Musical, before stepping onto stages like Coachella and MetLife Stadium, where he opened for The Rolling Stones. He has shared the bill with Lady Gaga, Stevie Nicks, Gary Clark Jr., Derek Trucks and Slash, and currently tours as a guitarist with multiple Grammy winner Jon Batiste.

Onstage, TAZ mixes tight, melodic riffs with long, free-flowing sections, drawing on the jam tradition of the Allman Brothers while keeping songs at the core. He has built an audience through extensive touring and headline dates including New York’s Bowery Ballroom, and is preparing his debut recording. This livestream spotlights his groove-driven playing, warm tone and a feel for improvisation shaped by years on the road.
