“This kind of feels like a bit of old school Loretta Lynn style, some Johnny Cash storytelling, with a youthful infusion and an AC/DC type kick in the ... !” That’s how one music industry veteran referred to the forthcoming body of music work from singer/songwriter Taylor Hogan. Sure, that’s a high bar to be reaching for – but once you get to know this determined young artist, you’ll also realize she wouldn’t have it any other way.
Newsday commented on her debut EP “Wonderland”, saying “it features plenty of catchy country songs, awash in acoustic guitar and clever lines”. Her upcoming country-rock single “Shot of Whiskey,” featuring Ryan Kinder (co-written with Ryan Kinder and Luke Sheets), sets the stage for her highly anticipated EPs releasing in 2023.
Having moved to Nashville at age 19 to hone her musical artistry and further her music education, Taylor hails from Long Island, New York. She recently graduated from Lipscomb University with a major in
songwriting, and during that time she caught the attention of a team of accomplished production and
songwriting creatives whose credits include: American Idol, Bonnie Raitt, Brett Eldredge, Celine Dion, Christina Aguilera, Cole Swindell, David Bowie, Luke Bryan, Martina McBride, Pat Benatar, Paul Stanley (KISS), P!nk, Rush, Timbaland Productions, The Voice and Yo-Yo Ma. Along the way, she also lent her lyrical talents and vocal stylings to the song “Break My Heart” by Stockholm based EDM DJ/Producer B3nte, which garnered nearly 3 million Spotify streams.
Taylor has a unique story to tell, being a country artist from New York. Her new music was recently described as equal parts catchy melodies, distinct vocal delivery, with elements of urban-pop and
country-rock hooks, all encompassed in traditional Nashville relatable storytelling. Amongst this “country music melting pot”, there’s also been an attention to truly putting the “rock” in “country-rock” by featuring highly esteemed guitar players of different styles as centerpieces to a number of Taylor’s upcoming singles. As her production team noted “there was a time in music history when listeners were waiting for the guitar riffs & solo(s) just as much as the vocal hooks ... so we thought, how about we bring some of that feature guitar unapologetically back to the forefront ... with Taylor’s unmistakable vocals lighting it all up!” The result has been a growing base of support affirming Taylor as an artist to watch in country music.
From headlining sold-out shows on Long Island - to opening for / sharing the stage with established
Tennessee / southern U.S. based artists & songwriters such as Alyssa Bonagura, Jenn Schott, Luke Sheets, Ryan Kinder, the Song Suffragettes and more - Taylor hopes to be ampin’ up audiences
nationwide soon!
