Eric Taylor is a master storyteller and has been one of the finest southern songwriters for the last four decades. Influencing such well-known artists as Nanci Griffith, Lyle Lovett (both of whom have covered several of his songs) and Steve Earle, Taylor tours extensively throughout North America and Europe. He has appeared on Austin City Limits, Late Night With David Letterman, NPR's "Morning Edition" and "Mountain Stage" and BBC Radio. A mesmerizing performer whose shows will leave you wanting more.

Eric headlined twice on the Oasis House Concerts stage in Sorrento Valley and we are so happy to welcome him to The Grassroots Oasis stage, on his U.S. homecoming tour after 7 weeks in Europe!  

This past summer, Eric Taylor was nominated for an Emmy Award for his musical compositions for the Storyworks.TV documentary "Road Kid to Writer: The Tracks of Jim Tully".  

Here's what two of his peers have to say about Eric ...

"I'm always the opening act when I'm around Eric. I love his voice, and he has a great narrative quality and sense of detail. He sort of takes you out of your own reality and into the reality of his songs. It's good writing no matter how you cut it."  Lyle Lovett

"He's the real deal. Eric Taylor was one of my heroes and teachers when I started playing around Houston in the early 1970s."  Steve Earle

And here's what music aficionados have to say about his shows:  

"I discovered Taylor last January when he visited Tallahassee for a house concert with David Webb, a former Tallahassee keyboardist who now lives in Austin, Texas. Webb convinced me to attend and I became an instant convert after listening to Taylors tales about knife-throwers, circus performers, train crashes, whooping cranes, midgets, Hollywood washouts, Beat literature icon Dean Moriarty and people whove been knocked around by life. Taylors wistful songs are really just perfectly condensed short stories set to music. The man is a true master."  Mark Hinson, Tallahassee Democrat

"Eric Taylor came on the stage at the Maze in Nottingham without any ceremony. He started a little blues riff on his blond acoustic guitar (a beautiful-sounding, handmade 'Ross-Kinscherff'). He played for his audience but never to the crowd. He didn't look for cliched climaxes or manufactured endings. It was always an intimate gig, a reflective affair, an evening for devoteesI went with a couple of players, guys who know the mysteries of dadgad, who understand a little about the merits of a B string dropped down to A and the quiet craft of a good song well written. They stood either side of me and looked mean if they thought I was going to be critical in any way. They kept pointing out things, making sure I understood; they wanted the man looked after. Eric Taylor seems to inspire that sort of devotion, that sort of affection, that sort of regard; like he is an endangered species  maybe he is."  Maverick magazine (UK)

And if you need any more persuasion, here's a couple of videos of Eric in performance:
