Taylor Brown is a Quaker raised Philadelphia native with strong roots in
blues, folk and rock music. Taylor has been touring the country with folk
singer Kate Taylor (sister of James Taylor) since 2003 and has appeared
with Dar Williams, Carly Simon, Levon Helm and many others. Taylor tours
as a solo act and with percussionist Rigel Byrum-Ridge for the more folkie
venues. For bigger more blues-oriented shows Taylor brings in The Taylor
Brown Trio.
Taylor and Rigel have recently been working with Gordon Millsaps on creating
a new, very different album. Taylor's influences are mostly from an older
generation (Jimi Hendrix, Joni Mitchell, Nick Drake, Bob Dylan etc.), while
Gordon and Rigel have a more modern sensibility. Taylor's greatest strength
is currently live performance, but this new body of work may change everything
about his work.
