Rooted in Philadelphia and settled in New York City, Russell Taylor was enveloped by a rich musical legacy. From Gamble and Huff, Sly & the Family Stone to Chaka Khan and Michael Jackson, songs of emotional love, social commentary and just having a good time provided a foundation for one of the most talented singer/songwriters bubbling under the radar. His music moves between nouveau soul and vintage blues with a caramel smooth ease, moving audiences through an emotional journey with each show. Painted with blues, rock & roll, hip-hop, and spiritual soul, Russell Taylor's artistry is embodied in sound and shared with the greater goal of bridging gaps. Russell's debut album Somewhere In Between is a live music voyage through the human condition. With two parts real vibrant soul, one part down home blues and one part artistic vulnerability, listeners emerge tipsy on life...and better for it.
