Did you know? It’s been nearly a decade since Taj Mahal and Keb’ Mo’ teamed up for their collaborative debut, TajMo, and though the album was a runaway success—it won a Grammy Award, garnered rave reviews, and spawned a massive joint tour of the US and Europe—neither artist ever expected to record a follow-up.
“That first album turned out so great that part of me wondered if maybe we just got lucky,” Keb’ says with a laugh. “I always figured it was a one-time thing. But when we got back into the studio together, I felt that same magic again, and I realized it wasn’t luck at all.”
Recorded in Nashville with Mo’ and Mahal co-producing, Room On The Porch was recently released in May 2025. The album finds the pair in peak form, playing to each other’s strengths and opening up new creative horizons more than a half-century into their storied careers.
Taj Mahal's Wolf Trap debut was in 1971 at the Filene Center as a part of the National Folk Festival. Since then, Mahal has returned to perform six times at the Filene Center and nine times at The Barns.
