Artist Interview: Joe Taylor

Cara “Cara’s Basement” Carriveau, NBC5 Street Team

My one guilty pleasure (well, I have more than one but this all I’ll admit to right now) is loving General Hospital. I’m too busy to watch it regularly but as long as I see at least 5 minutes per week I’m good. But today, for the first time in my life I’ll be tivo-ing (is that a word?) Days Of Our Lives. Not because I want to watch it, but because of the song that will be featured in the coffee shop scene. The song is called “The Sweetest Tune” and it’s sung by one of the sweetest musicians I’ve ever interviewed, Joe Taylor.

If you’re not familiar with him, he’s a marvelous songwriter/singer currently based in New York. You can hear his music here. There’s a sweet video done by the New York Times about musicians auditioning to perform in the NY subway that features him – watch it here. Did he make it? Find out here.

Listen to my previous interview with Joe Taylor for The Chicago Music Guide here:

He periodically performs in Chicago – hopefully, you’ll have the chance to experience his music live soon.
