This summer, Bonnie Raitt and Taj Mahal are joining forces for their first-ever tour together. The "BonTaj Roulet" tour will feature Bonnie and Taj on stage alone and together. Bonnie, backed by her always-dazzling group, and Taj, with the six-piece, Grammy-winning Phantom Blues Band, will play full sets separately, before closing each night with a collaborative, blow-out performance.

Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Bonnie Raitt is an institution in American music, a best-selling artist, respected guitarist, expressive singer, and accomplished songwriter. The nine-time Grammy winner's most recent studio album was her eighteenth release, 2005's Souls Alike, followed up with a DVD/ CD, VH1 Classic Decades Rock Live! Presents Bonnie Raitt and Friends, released in 2006.

In May, composer, multi-instrumentalist, and vocalist Taj Mahal will be inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame. His work - including last year's studio album, Maestro, which featured such guest stars as Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, and Ziggy Marley - incorporates music from around the globe, from West Africa and the Caribbean to Latin America, the Hawaiian Islands, and so much more.

As for their nightly jam sessions on the "BonTaj Roulet" tour, both artists sound like they're raring to go. "There's gonna be a lot of fireworks, because it’s so fresh," says Bonnie. "I think about it before I go to sleep, toying with the possibilities, and it feels like having an extra slice of pie, getting both of these bands to play together like this. There's so much potential to what we can do."
