Taylor Steele uses creative acoustic guitar arrangements and her powerful, soulful voice to play originals and unique versions of songs from singer-songwriters both old and new. Influenced by a range of artists, from Jimmie Rodgers and Hank, Sr., to Bob Dylan and Bonnie Raitt, to Van Morrison and Gillian Welch, Taylor crafts her songs with a rugged, yet free-spirited style that touches on the blues, psychedelia, and soul music, while remaining rooted in country and Americana.

Starting at the young age of 4, Taylor began singing and performing for people, experiencing the fun and excitement of '50s & '60s Rock 'n' Roll. She soon acquired a guitar and started attending bluegrass jam sessions and writing her own songs. After years of honing her style at open mics and networking with other like-minded musicians, she has found a way to make music the central focus of her life.
