    In addition to their purely musical endeavors, the band has begun a new tradition of gathering their favorite musical acts for once-in-a-lifetime halloween shows. Now in its third year, the ‘Oogie Boogie Nights’ Halloween extravaganza is a wild night of live music, good vibes, and all things spooky. 

    This year’s show goes hand-in-hand with TAUK’s recent streak of collaborative singles with artists like reggae icon Matisyahu, G. Love, Kanika Moore, The Shady Horns of funk group Lettuce, and Taz.

    “We’ve been lucky enough to have played the Capitol Theatre a couple times already but being able to come in and throw our own show is something we’ve been dreaming up for a while… We get some of our absolute favorite musicians together and throw a huge party. The lineup for this is unreal and we have so much in store for this show.”

    – Matthew Jalbert, guitarist of TAUK

    In addition to some of their recent collaborators, TAUK will be bringing Mike Wilbur and Mihali along for the ride, elevating the night’s programming to another level of excitement.

    During these celebrations, Trevor Noah plans to do more than just party. Joining a moderator on stage, he offers a deep dive into the essence of his latest work.

    Trevor is the author of the 2016 #1 New York Times bestseller Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood, a memoir depicting the hardships of growing up mixed-raced in apartheid South Africa. His storytelling ability caught the attention of readers of all ages, adapting the bestseller into a young readers’ version in 2019. This year, he’s back with another testament to his storytelling abilities with his latest book, Into the Uncut Grass.

    However, unlike Born a Crime, Trevor Noah’s latest book is a work of fiction rather than a memoir. Trevor’s new book is a gorgeously illustrated and moving modern fable for readers of all ages about forgiveness, acceptance, and the secret to solidarity. Inspired by classic children’s fables like Alice in Wonderland and The Little Prince, he adjusts these longstanding stories to fit his own personal experience, as well as

    “Few memories in my life bring me more joy than the first few books I read as a child,” says Trevor Noah. “Either with my mom or reading alone, those simple stories shaped so much of how I saw the world. I hope this story can bring a little bit of that same joy to readers of all ages.”

    General on-sale for these celebrations begins on Friday, August 9 at 10 am local. Tickets are available with this link here.
