Dusty-altcountry-americana is at the heart of Colorado born and raised singer-songwriter, Taylor Shae’s sound. Having rocked stages at festivals and venues across Colorado since 2016, Taylor brings stories of outlaws & dreamers to life in her songs, vocals described as velvety-toned and bright, or even likened to legends Bonnie Raitt, Sheryl Crow, and Susan Tedeschi.  

At 22, the songwriter has independently released 4 albums, a handful of singles, and has earned awards for her craft such as Sustain’s Backyard Songscape Competition in 2020, eTown’s Handmade Songs in 2017, and more. Currently calling Fort Collins, CO home, you’ll catch Taylor performing as a duo or recently with a full band, amplifying the alt-country/rock energy that many of her songs lean into.  

In her latest single release, “Amarillo,” you’ll hear longing gospel harmonies combined with authentic country storytelling of a life in lowdown. On the horizon is another single release in a similar vein, “Small Town America,” which is a true alt-country-rock anthem celebrating the badassery and grit of small-town folks. This is illuminated in some of the lyrics: 

“Built for the dust, made for the grit, every face every name never forget, making up the lungs that keep on breathing” 

“And we keep on breathing through every haze, we pick up the slack, we heighten the blaze, we create we remake we shoulder what we take, and I see it in you my friend”
