Twenty-year-old Brandon Niederauer, nicknamed “Taz” for his ferocious guitar playing, is living proof that dreams really do come true. Having performed in some of the most legendary venues in America with many of the most prominent musicians of our time, the young guitarist, singer, and songwriter has already earned himself quite the reputation.
It all started at eight years old, when Brandon watched the movie School of Rock. Already inspired by his father’s record collection, Brandon instantly realized he was destined to play guitar. From that moment on, his guitar rarely left his hands. Just four years later,

With opening performance by Circus Mind
Circus Mind is a New York-based rock outfit and the brainchild of ringleader Mark Rechler. The band is entering their twentieth year and their latest album Joy Machine, a delightful mashup of rock and Nola funk mixed with late-Beatles pop, received rave reviews from Relix, The Rocktologist and countless other entertainment news outlets. Their upcoming EP Bioluminate arrived in May 2022.
The band features Mark Rechler on Keys and Vocals, Jaime Scott on Guitar, Michael Amendola on Sax, LD Silva on Bass, Steve Finkelstein on Percussion and Dan Roth on Drums.
Circus Mind is able to daringly swing from jazzy grooves to reggae roots then shoot out of a canon into rock without missing a beat. The boys deliver a modern take on influences such as Traffic, Steely Dan, Little Feat and Mott the Hoople while mixing in NoLa influences like Dr. John, The Meters and The Neville Brothers. Over the course of their career, Circus Mind has performed at Jazzfest, The Fat Friday Annual Mardi Gras Ball, Brooklyn Bowl, The Capitol Theatre, B.B. King’s and many other prestigious venues.
