"Taylor Scott is one of the most talented singer/songwriter/guitar monsters I have had the pleasure of working with. His ability to distill complex human feelings into concise 4-minute epics for an artist as young as he is is truly extraordinary, and then to rip a face-melting solo on top of it all? Just remarkable to say the least.” - Steve Berlin
"If ever a song title could reflect a track, this is it as the music exemplifies exactly what the title suggests. With the smoothness of John Mayer, Scott sings with effortless cool and comforting vibes as he’s backed by a dreamy rhythm section.” - Glide Magazine
"Taylor Scott is the epitome of an old soul. He seems to know a little bit about everything, has his OWN sound as a vocalist AND a guitar player, and is full of good ideas and advice. I always look forward to making music with Taylor and this record is BAAD to the BONE."
- Eric Benny Bloom (Lettuce)
“With their combination of soul, funk, blues, and rock ‘n’ roll, Taylor Scott’s music is gaining a reputation for transcending the limitations of a single genre.” - Elmore Magazine
"Hidalgo and company also know how to send the elevator back to the bottom. This time, it was to bring the brilliant Denver guitarist Taylor Scott on stage, with his Les Paul and Willie Nelson braids, to slay on Duane Allman-esque lead guitar throughout the show’s last batch of rollicking tunes."
– Westword Denver
"Taylor Scott is a relatively new artist who has already done some remarkable things.” - Twangville
“Taylor is an incredible songwriter – his lyrics are thoughtful and gritty.” - Tour Stories
“Taylor Scott is one of those artists that can do it all. A heartfelt, sincere songwriter with extraordinary guitar chops and a deeply soulful voice.” - Dave Alvin
"Hearing Taylor Scott is like hitting the jackpot. This unassuming kid from Denver is a monster."

LISTEN TO “THROWBACK GROOVES”: HERE
Denver-based guitar virtuoso Taylor Scott is excited to release his new single entitled “Throwback Grooves”. Produced by his friend and mentor Steve Berlin (Los Lobos), and featuring Lettuce’s Eric Benny Bloom on trumpet, the new single is out now.
“I wrote ‘Throwback Grooves’ up in Wyoming on New Year’s Eve, and I guess I was feeling nostalgic,” Scott told Glide Magazine. “That’ll happen on New Year’s Eve. I was thinking about someone from my past and how whatever was going on with us, we always had the best music playing. I try to make sure that’s always the case. In the car, around the house, whatever is spinning should be the bomb. I’m always conscious of the music that accompanies a moment so I guess writing a song about it felt natural. When memories play like movie scenes inside your head, do they ever come with music? Throwback Grooves is about that.”
Last year was a year of reckoning for roots-rock artist Taylor Scott. After a tough year weathering personal storms, and having live music come to what seemed to be an indefinite pause, Taylor realized the only option was to shift his perspective, and he decided to use the time to reflect and regroup. “I recommitted myself to music and personally had to work through so much. I felt like I was hitting my head against the wall for so long, and something finally just broke open. ‘Some of the new songs dealt with those dark months, charging ahead, because the only way out of it was to go forward through it. The others are so happy and lighthearted, and I haven’t written that way for years. I’m feeling celebratory now, and those songs reflect that.”
“Throwback Grooves” smooth vibe follows “Bleeding Out,” the scorching and gritty funk track released on the heels of his buzzed-about performances at this year’s FloydFest. These songs and more performed live at the festival helped him win over fans including Keller Williams and Leftover Salmon with whom he gave a blistering performance (see HERE). After a year of isolation and live streams, Taylor Scott Band jumped back into touring with a smoking Summer 2021 tour, and Taylor is currently on the road wrapping up a tour supporting Carbon Leaf that hit the Pacific Northwest. Taylor Scott Band will continue to perform live throughout the year with shows in the Mountain states.
