With a thumping thumb, dancing fingers, deep

gritty soul stirring vocals & poetic blue collar lyrics; Taylor's

songs ooze American roots. His voice has been

compared to Tom Waites, Ray Lamontagne, Bruce Springstien, Chris

Smither,

Bob Dylan & Eddie Vedder. His original songs draw

from the deep Americana muscial well & his lyrics are colored by

the experiences of his own working class wandering

roots. He's been an oysterman, carpenter, hitchhiker, homeowner,

father,

husband, 'Thru-hiker' (Appalachian Trail '96, Long

Trail '97, & John Muir Trail '06 - visit his blog "Short Stories From A Long Walk") & full time musician since his '08 debut release "Wandering Roots."
 Taylor's

third original CD "Home" hit National airwaves Oct 1, 2013, debuting

at #33 on the folk DJ charts and hitting a #4 song on

Acoustic Pie Radio on Live365.com. It features several solo tracks

anchored by his signiture heavy handed fingerpicking

& introduces his lively harmonica playing for the first time on

record. It also features a fine aray of New England

musicians, as the 'Wandering Roots,' for an eclectic batch of songs

and sounds that seek to reflect the diversity of the

American experience, within the frame work of [roughly] 'acoustic'

Americana.
