Taylor Brown: An Intimate Acoustic Concert

Taylor Brown: This intimate acoustic concert will focus on the incredible breadth and depth of American Folk Music. The performance will feature material from Taylor's forthcoming vinyl release, peppered with choice selections from the likes of Leadbelly and Hank Williams.

In a world full of digital manipulation comes an artist who cuts through the smoke with honest delivery and timeless original songs that will touch your soul. Taylor Brown has spent his life devoted to this mystical calling; training as a classical guitarist, performing alongside the same legendary folk musicians he was raised listening to (Carly Simon, Livingston Taylor, Tom Rush) and writing songs from age three onward. He has fledged into an artist whose singing & guitar playing transcend the ordinary while making audiences feel perfectly at home.
