Biography
---From London, now living in Bristol, but travels all over UK--- ALEX TAYLOR (SINGER-SONGWRITER/LOOP PEDAL/ONE MAN BAND + DJ) *message for links to covers songs* “Alex Taylor is a genius with a loop pedal… and his voice is stunning” – Metro UK based singer/songwriter and multi-instrumental loop pedal artist. Already compared by reviewers to the likes of Bill Withers, John Martyn and Jeff Buckley, Alex Taylor is one of the shining lights of the acoustic scene and a troubadour of world-class standing. When you see him perform live, prepare yourself for an energetic and passionate vocal performance, dextrous and original acoustic playing and some dynamic loop pedal trickery for good measure. Drawing on varied influences from a wide musical spectrum, Alex’s unique style splices elements of soul, nu-folk and electronica to place his powerful-yet gentle, shape‐shifting voice firmly in the spotlight. A festival favourite, Alex has headlined the BBC Stage at Bristol Harbour Festival and played many other stages including Cambridge Folk and Cheltenham Jazz Festivals. Notching up over a thousand gigs including support slots including Jack Savoretti, Roachford and Michael Kiwanuka. His critically acclaimed debut album features performances from members of The Invisible, Newton Faulkner’s band, Portishead and Massive Attack. As well as recording and touring as a solo artist, Alex has many years of experience playing and DJing at private functions and events, always delivering a live performance that is hard to match. Using loop pedal, guitar and effects, Alex creates a ‘full band’ sound, and all completely live, nothing pre-recorded, no backing tracks. New EP up on Spotify. Brand new studio album set for release later this year! (Alex also plays with a band - duo , trio or 4 piece band)
