Sean Taylor

Biography

Sean Taylor has rapidly grown to be one of the hottest new names in the UK blues/acoustic scene. His incredible passion for performance, sheer talent and songwriting of the highest calibre is a testament to his frequent comparisons with John Martyn, Chris Isaak and Tom Waits.
 
He has opened for artists such as John Fogerty, Neville Brothers, Tony Joe White, Eric Bibb, Tom Paxton, Tift Merritt and Band Of Horses.
 
The past couple of years has seen Sean’s profile rocket with three UK tours and festival performances at Glastonbury, Cambridge Folk Festival, Beautiful Days and many others
 
In 2012 Sean released ‘Love Against Death’ which was recorded in Austin, Texas and produced by Mark Hallman (Carole King, Ani Di Franco, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Lyle Lovett.), it also features Eliza Gilkyson.
 
2013 is set to be Sean's biggest year yet with tours of Australia and Holland and a new album featuring legendary double bass player Danny Thompson.
