The Singer/songwriter has recorded and released nine singles (Old Chevy, Gone Fishin’, Dixie Dreamin’, Millionaire in Mexico, Friend with A Beer, American Crazy (went to 75 on Music Row Charts), Beginning of Me, All You Gotta Do Is Dance (went to No 7 on the UK charts and 80 on Music row charts), I Know My Way Around This Town and his recently released Redneckin’. He has also been recently chosen as an Ambassador to PickleJar Live, and is a member of the Texas Country Music Association.

Wandering roots troubadour Shawn Taylor, weaves music from many colored threads of Americana. His fourth original CD “Balance,” wanders from Appalachian to island groves, rock to pop, sparse folk ballads to finger-style time twisters and gut busting blues. “Shawn Taylor is one of the finest traveling troubadours performing on the circuit these days. Boasting world-class guitar chops, soul enriched vocals and an uncanny knack for capturing life in a song,” wrote Brian Owens, of Metronome Magazine – Boston in June 2018. “His lyrics dabble in a wonderful gritty naturalism that’s uncommon around here,” wrote Dan Barry of the New Haven Advocate. “Shawn Taylor has a mellowness to his voice that works well against the frenetic flash of finger-picking that is the foundation of his songs. The songs crackle with the guitar work,” declared TheAlternateRoot.com
