Based in Brooklyn, Will Taylor crafts atmospheric/narrative-driven indie folk with hooks and harmonies aplenty. Born amidst the cow pastures of rural North Carolina and raised in the theater (Taylor is a former Broadway dancer), Taylor tells a story rooted in images of nature and personal history, with a constant pull towards fantasy. His tales are at once hypnotic and provocative, with a blend of steady guitar picking and an expressive, buttery voice that evokes James Taylor, Chris Isaak, and Sufjan Stevens. Will Taylor’s a gentle soul, unafraid of exploring deep emotion. He’s on a quest for for mystery and meaning, for beauty and stark nothingness, rare orchids and sharp blades of summer grass.
He is known for having been central to an episode of "The Good Wife," with a video of Will dressed in gold lame, singing the ridiculously catchy song, "Thicky Trick" playing throughout the episode. He sang back up for Kristin Chenoweth on a world concert tour, playing such venues as Sydney Opera House and Lincoln Center.
