Nolan Taylor is a singer-songwriter based out of Cincinnati, Ohio. His voice ranges from the soft fall of rain to a heavy crack of thunder, underlining songs of hard times, wild nights and heartbreak. The emotional impact of his sound is not only heard, but felt, in the bones and in the blood. Themes of longing, desperation, joy and sorrow ring true and genuine from his lips. When Nolan sings, it will make you feel like all of the heartbreak you have ever experienced found a voice and learned how to play guitar. His passion and his energy are contagious and will draw you into his stories.
There is an organic, alt-folk meets pop sensibility to Taylor’s new single, “Wicked Ways”. We imagine it’s a call out to John R. Miller when Taylor opens the song with, “The sky is blue and so am I”, the same line that Miller’s “Old Dance Floor” opens up with, but quickly there is a departure into a catchy, yet familiar melodic push, we find here in spades that writer has a natural and fluid delivery to his clever lyrics.
