Melvin Taylor is taking a new direction with his electrifying sound. Born in Jackson, Mississippi, Melvin Taylor’s seductive blues infused with jazz riffs and rock solos, has earned himself an impeccable reputation as one of music's most enterprising and engaging artists in the city of big shoulder, Chicago as well as internationally.
A solid master inherited from his blues roots influenced by his uncle. He has been performing and writing music since his youth, toured successfully in Europe and the U.S., amassing an impressive discography to rave reviews and critical acclaim.
Rolling Stone called him - “one of the most exhilarating blues guitarists to emerge in the past decade…[he] is more a blues innovator than a purist mixing jazz chords and rock influences into his tapestry of Electric Blues”…
The New York Times – “a volcanic guitarist… the sort of virtuosity that drags an audience into a world of risks and chances and excitement”…
Don Snowden, All Music Guide - Melvin Taylor is one hot guitarslinger. Accolades like “the best, unfairly-neglected blues guitarist/singer to come out of Chicago since the late-‘60s heyday of Otis Rush, Buddy Guy and Magic Sam”
This is a new day for Melvin Taylor and we are steadfast in presenting his amazing artistry to you. We welcome the opportunity to bring Melvin Taylor and his band to your venue, more importantly, your patrons.
