Bio
Taylor Moore is the Caribbean journalist turned full-time guitar slinger, bandleader and songwriter stirring up an atavistic frenzy across the Southeast.
After fleeing the island of St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands in April of 2009 for his music career, Moore blitzed countless festivals, and opening and headlining slots throughout the Southeast – garnering a loyal following and dazzling sold-out crowds with his guitar pyrotechnics, original songwriting and Ray LaMontagne-meets-Rod Stewart vocal stylings.
With his full-on electric band, Moore has opened concerts for heavy-hitters like Delbert McClinton,Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, JJ Grey and Mofro and Corey Smith, while in his stripped down acoustic capacity, he's toured with platinum-selling singer-songwriter Edwin McCain.
Though he's garnered immense respect from music industry insiders and fans, he's stirring up recognition among the critics as well.
According to the Atlanta Music Guide,“Moore absolutely beats his guitar senseless when he plays, and you would think that would take away from the energy he exudes in his singing; quite the contrary…,” while Metromix Greenville says: “Now Greenville-based, Moore infuses post-Stevie Ray Vaughn licks—SRV acolyte Chris Duarte is a major influence—with Caribbean spirit.”
Moore takes such spirit to musical hotbeds across the Southeast. He considers his second home the island of St. Croix, where he frequents and tours.
