This will be a new singer songwriter to a lot of people but trust me he is amazing! Someone I have been wanting to book for sometime now and it is a real pleasure to present such an exceptionally talented artist.
Willy Tea Taylor is a father, brother, and son. His remarkable ability to sing about profound subjects in a simple way makes his songs a great place to lose yourself. Much of that comes from his upbringing.
Willy grew up surrounded by rolling hills and horses in the small town of Oakdale, California. Known as the Cowboy Capital of the World for breeding so many world champion rodeo cowboys, Oakdale is still Willy's home and the setting for many of his songs. Despite coming from a long line of cattlemen his grandfather Walt was one of the most respected of his generation Willy's first love was baseball. As a catcher, he had a gift for the nuances of calling a game from behind the plate. When a knee injury ended his ability to catch, Willy turned his attention to music.
He made his main stage debut with his band the Good Luck Thrift Store Outfit at the 2009 festival. In 2015, Willy made his solo debut on the main stage. Willy has charmed fans at some of the best festivals in the US. He and Tom VandenAvond have travelled together on a series of tours they call Searchin' for Guy Clark's Kitchen where each evening's show is just a precursor to an endless quest for the kind of serene late night scene depicted in the cult classic documentary Heartworn Highways.
On his new release Knuckleball Prime, Willy received support from greats like Benmont Tench (Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers), Greg Leisz (Bruce Springsteen, Eric Clapton), and Gabe Witcher and Noam Pikelny of the Punch Brothers. Of the album's title, Taylor says most baseball players peak in their twenties, but knuckleball pitchers tend to blossom in their late thirties and early forties. I'm staring down my knuckleball prime.
