Taj Farrant in Cincinnati

Taj Farrant is an Australian guitarist, born in 2009, whose path to the stage started at age six after seeing Angus Young perform with AC/DC -- an encounter he has credited with deciding his entire career. A self-described prodigy who practiced eight to nine hours a day through his early teens, Farrant became the youngest guitarist ever endorsed by Gibson and Elixir Strings at age nine, and has since appeared on Australia's Got Talent and The Ellen Show and shared stages with Carlos Santana and Joe Bonamassa. His 2024 debut album, Chapter One, reached number one on the iTunes Blues charts in multiple countries, cementing him as a serious voice in blues-rock rather than a novelty act. This Cincinnati date brings that blues-rooted, technically dazzling playing -- shaped by influences like Santana, Orianthi, and Eric Gales -- to a room built for guitar fans who want to see a young player already operating at a professional level, backed by his own band rather than performing solo covers.
