Description

Live in New London -- Shawn will share songs, stories, a few ballads, delightful guitar picking! Wandering roots troubadour Shawn Taylor weaves songs from many threads-- from Appalachian to island groves, gritty rock to sparse folk ballads, finger-style twisters to gut busting blues. "His lyrics dabble in a wonderful gritty naturalism," wrote Dan Barry of the New Haven Advocate.
