It’s summer 2008 … a sunny Sunday afternoon in London’s Notting Hill Gate. An appreciative crowd has gathered around a busker’s pitch. From a distance all you can see is a bobbing hat … all you can hear is a warm growl, accompanied by stunning guitar licks – the crowd (many of them regulars to this busker’s weekly slot) look on in awed silence. Move a little closer and under the hat is a tall charismatic young man grooving in a musical trance, oblivious to all around him. The young man is Sean Taylor.
Fast forward to today and Sean Taylor has grown to be one of the hottest new names in the Eurpoean 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. Sean appeared at both Glastonbury and Cambridge festivals in 2010 and 2011. His 2011 Glastonbury performance on the Bourbon St Jazz & Blues stage was widely blogged as being a highlight of the festival. Apart from his 3 headline UK tours to date, Sean has also supported the Neville Brothers, John Fogerty(Creedence Clearwater), Band of Horses, Southside Johnny & The Asbury Dukes and Eric Bibb.
Sean’s new album ‘Love Against Death’ is a masterpiece. The album was recorded in Austin, Texas, produced by Mark Hallman who has also worked with Eliza Gilkyson, Carole King, Ani DiFranco, Iain Matthews, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Oasis, and Lyle Lovett.
