First things first – Taylor’s debut album Early Riser came out today and it’s excellent (the “Best of 2014” kind of excellent). Please support!
I also had the honor of interviewing him last night with a great “in studio audience” of friends in the house as well. We talked about the creative/recording process for several of his songs, meeting heroes of his, like Herbie Hancock, and much more. Click on the player below to listen to the show!
Thanks Dani, Erin, Lina, James, Tory, Noah, John Bravo, Thushan, Jeff, Jarrod Kurtis and Zach!
