\n
\nEighteen-year-old \;Brandon Niederauer\, nicknamed &ldquo\;Taz&rdquo\; 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.
\n
\nIt all started at eight years old\, when Brandon watched the movie \;School of Rock. Already inspired by his father&rsquo\;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\, Brandon was cast in the principal role of guitarist &ldquo\;Zack Mooneyham&rdquo\; in the Tony Award-nominated \;Andrew Lloyd Webber \;Broadway production\, \;School of Rock the Musical.
\n
\nBased in New York City\, Brandon has had the opportunity to play with many of his musical idols. In recent years\, he&rsquo\;s shared the stage with multiple members of the \;Allman Brothers Band\, including \;Gregg Allman\, Derek Trucks\, Warren Haynes\, Butch Trucks\, and \;Oteil Burbridge\, as well as a variety of other notable musicians\, including \;Buddy Guy\, Stevie Nicks\, Lady Gaga\, Slash\, Jon Batiste\, Dweezil Zappa\, Eric Gales\, George Clinton &\; Parliament Funkadelic\, Dr. John\, Gary Clark Jr.\, Col. Bruce Hampton\, Eric Krasno\, George Porter Jr.\, Robert Randolph\, Karl Denson\, Doug Wimbish\, and \;John Popper. He has also performed with \;Tedeschi Trucks Band\, The String Cheese Incident\, Umphrey'\;s McGee\, The Revivalists\, Dumpstaphunk\, Blackberry Smoke\, Galactic\, and countless other bands.
\n
\nSince making his national television debut on \;The Ellen DeGeneres Show \;at just ten years old\, Brandon has appeared on \;The Late Show with Stephen Colbert\, \;Good Morning America\, and \;The View. In 2018\, Brandon reunited with Andrew Lloyd Webber\, performing in January with \;Sarah Brightman \;at \;The Phantom of the Opera&rsquo\;s 30th Anniversary \;celebration\, and in April alongside \;Sara Bareilles\, \;Alice Cooper\, and \;John Legend \;in NBC&rsquo\;s live broadcast production of \;Jesus Christ Superstar. Brandon is currently featured in \;Spike Lee&rsquo\;s Netflix series\, "\;She&rsquo\;s Gotta Have It\,"\; and performs concerts for audiences across the country and around the world.
