Taylor Baker
Austin, Texas
Taylor & the Wild Now is an Austin, Texas-based band with a fresh sound that’s creative and rootsy. The band was formed by Taylor Baker, who originally played as a solo act and occasionally collaborated with various musicians. Drew Walker then joined in the summer of 2013. They began writing together, sharing ideas, and turning the venture into a more solidified sound.
Taylor & the Wild Now is a blend of compelling vocals, thought-provoking lyrics, gracious guitar licks, and melodic trumpet lines. The band is driven by an approach to songwriting that is impressive, surprising, and unique. Influenced by artists such as Dawes, The Head & the Heart, and Ben Howard, their music spans the spectrum from wild, upbeat sounds to stripped-back acoustics. Their first EP was released in August 2014.
