Brit Taylor, a country singer, and songwriter haven’t backed down in a place notorious for dishing out heavy knocks. After a decade of “playing by the rules,” she broke out independently and released Real Me in 2020, followed by Real Me Deluxe in 2021. She has already written and recorded Kentucky Blue, her follow-up album due early in 2019. Her critically acclaimed debut album Real Me was a self-reflective journey to self-awareness from despair. It debuted after just 10 days as the highest-ranking debut album on the AMA/CDX Radio Chart at No. 37 and received favorable reviews from American Songwriter, Rolling Stone, and NPR’s World Cafe, among others.
At the highly regarded 2022 AMERICANAFEST, Taylor had an official artist presentation. She was the featured performer at the Kentucky Rising official sold-out after-party at The Burl in Lexington, KY, which was held to raise money for flood victims in East Kentucky. Taylor’s outstanding schedule of live engagements this year includes an opening for childhood idol and fellow East Kentucky Dwight Yoakam, Ian Noe, Alabama, and Robert Earl Keen. In the fall, she will tour with Blackberry Smoke and Kelsey Waldon. The amazing musical series “The Caverns Sessions” (formerly known as “Bluegrass Underground”), which is taped deep below the subterranean amphitheater of The Caverns in Tennessee’s Cumberland Mountains, will feature her over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
