MoreFast-rising country Singer/Songwriter Brit Taylor — who is quickly becoming known for her loyalty to tradition while embracing her modern, for her unwaveringly honest and relatable lyrics, and for her sultry yet powerful alto — has, during her breakout year, debuted on the Grand Ole Opry, had her second album, the Sturgill Simpson-produced Kentucky Blue — debut at No. 4 on the Bluegrass albums Billboard chart and station itself in the Top 20 on the Americana chart for weeks, performed across the nation including a headliner tour of 14 shows on the West Coast, as well as having solo performances at major music festivals including Railbird, Key West, Laurel Cove, Master Musicians, CMA Fest and multiple shows at Americanfest. Recognized repeatedly as one of country music's emerging artists, the Kentucky native had a song on the TV hit show "Tulsa King" and has supported musicians across the country including, Margo Price, Brent Cobb, Dwight Yoakum, Blackberry Smoke, Turnpike Troubadours, Kelsey Waldon, Charles Wesley Godwin, Dayton Farley and others.
When it didn't come easy for Brit, she earned it. Her grit, her music, and her story are born of hard work, difficult times, unlimited conviction and deep self-reflection. Starting on the Kentucky Opry at just seven years old, she left at age 17 to chase her country music dream in Nashville. A college degree and an internship quickly led to her first publishing deal. But before she could soar, she had to navigate life's dips and jolts — a marriage gone wrong, a beloved dog crossing the Rainbow Bridge, a band and publishing deal that were no more and the bank wanting her sanctuary — the treasured mini-farm that brings her peace and houses her menagerie of animals. Her journey through life's trials to today's achievements lets her gift listeners with relatable and empathetic experiences, always offering either a background for life's laughter or a shoulder to lean on for life's tears. Like the native Kentucky tulip poplar trees, soaring yet rooted deep in the mountain soils, Brit Taylor stands tall, stays put and sways with life's winds, but she does not break.
