ABOUT

Seeking working band for regular gigging and/or touring. Recently ended a long term working relationship with another musician. He went down the rabbit hole of drug addiction, stole everything I had and destroyed my credit. In the end, he committed several serious acts of violence against me. He is about to go to prison for a very long time, but that doesn't get my gear or my life back. I am a complete pro package, with strong instrument and vox front and back. Also an accomplished songwriter and arranger.
I am presently living day to day in a sketchy motel, about to become homeless, and urgently seeking any working position that will get me anchored to the world of music and musicians.
I am the only Jacob Dylan Taylor on FB, and can be reached at 9046246081 anytime day or night.

Influences

A to Z and all points between. Strong in all genres but wheelhouse is classic blues based rock, funk, southern and jam.
Also very comfortable in solo/duo/trio for that whole acoustic vibe.
Don't much care for replication: much prefer to reimagine and reinvent cover material. However, I do a spot on Tom Petty, Stones, Allman Bros,, Skynnrd, Crowes, Floyd thing when called upon to do so, and do enjoy knocking precise stuff from those and similar artists out of the park.
