Eric Taylor

"If you miss an opportunity to hear Eric Taylor, you have missed a chance to hear a voice I consider the William Faulkner of songwriting in our current time." - Nanci Griffith

He is a sage musician, a lyrical genius and a master of the guitar who learned his chops from Lightnin' Hopkins, Mance Lipscomb and Mississippi Fred McDowell .
He has headlined the Newport Folk Festival, played NPR's "Mountain Stage" and appeared on "Late Night With David Letterman" and "Austin City Limits."
