Eric Taylor has been one of
the finest, most revered southern songsmiths for more than three decades.
He has his own voice and his own vision, he takes you places and puts you inside
people’s minds. His lyrics are spare and right to the point creating
songs of marvelous integrity in timeless storytelling. This is a man who takes the art of
songwriting – and the art of performance – seriously. . Eric Taylor doesn’t just
make you feel the sun and taste the dust of Texas, his songs play in your
head like poignant soundtracks with vivid real-life images.
Billy Needs a Beard is a motley
collection of friends who, for the past five years, have been playing and
writing music together. Their backgrounds are different, and their tastes are
eclectic, but their goal is the same: to find a way to blend the music they make
with the sensibilities of getting older in the modern world. Combining harmonies
with acoustic instrumentation, and presenting a mix of originals and
covers
