Birmingham, Alabama's Taylor Hollingsworth has always resisted easy categorization. Asked to define hismusic, he struggled - a little bit folk, a touch of blues, a dash of rock 'n' roll, but not quite fitting neatly intoany single box. Eventually, he coined the phrase "Folk n' Roll" to describe his sound. Now, he's proudlyclaiming that sound with his latest album, aptly titled "Folk n' Roll." Fans of JJ Cale, Mississippi John Hurt,Chuck Berry, Richard Thompson, Jonathan Richman, and John Prine will find much delight inHollingsworth's blend of timeless influences.For much of the early aughts, Hollingsworth toured extensively with his punk-tinged rock band (thinkRamones meets Chuck Berry meets ZZ Top) and worked as a hired gun playing guitar with various artistson the road (most notably with Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band). However, following the birth ofhis daughter, he took a hiatus from touring to dedicate himself to his family and cultivate his craft as afull-time local musician in Birmingham, AL. During this time, he honed his skills through countless monthlyresidencies at bars and restaurants, playing everything from laid-back brunch sets to raucous late-nightclubs. It was during this time that he perfected his captivating one-man show, now dubbed "Folk n' Roll."After years of refining his act for local crowds, Hollingsworth began working with longtime friend andformer bandmate Matt Patton (Drive by Truckers/Dexateens/Laura Jane Grace) who owns and operatesDial Back Sound, a studio and record label based out of Water Valley, MS. After recording and releasinghis last album "Yahola" with Dial Back Sound, Hollingsworth found himself hitting the road once again,armed with his new solo one-man show. His performances are a sight to behold - finger-picked electricguitar, a mic'd up foot stomp box providing the rhythmic backbone, and occasionally the addition of alooper pedal to layer in guitar solos, all while delivering his signature storytelling lyrics. Audiences areconsistently blown away by the unexpectedly big sound he creates, with many proclaiming it to be one ofthe best shows they've ever seen.Since the release of "Yahola," Hollingsworth has been a road warrior, touring with a wide stylistic range ofartists including Laura Jane Grace, Jake Xerxes Fussell, Dash Rip Rock, and Har Mar Superstar, whilealso headlining his own shows across the United States.He continues to captivate crowds with his raw talent, quick fingers, and well-crafted lyricalcompositions. Hollingsworth's dedication to his craft has earned him widespread recognition. His songshave been featured in popular TV shows, podcasts, and films, and covered by artists Conor Oberst andPhoebe Bridgers in their project Better Oblivion Community Center. Most recently, he's been named afinalist in the prestigious International Songwriting Competition, placing him in the top 2% of over 13,000entries.In addition to his solo work, Hollingsworth is a founding member of Dead Fingers (a folk-rock duo withwife Kate Hollingsworth) whose song "Ring Around Saturn" has amassed over 3 million streamsworldwide. He also penned "Inside Out," and "She Still Shouts," for his rock 'n' roll band, The Blips, bothof which were crowned "Coolest Song in the World" on Little Steven's Underground Garage.With "Folk n' Roll," Taylor Hollingsworth invites you to join him on the next phase of his unique musicaljourney.
