Sally Taylor

Besides being the daughter of two legendary musicians, Carly Simon and James Taylor (with whom she plans to tour this summer 2001), she's been playing in bands since her sophomore year in high school when she and some class mates formed a band called "The Slip," and started playing rock & roll cover tunes at opposing school's proms and parties. Since then, she's been in over 15 bands, had songs in movies (Anywhere but Here and Me Myself & Irene) and played with such bands as: Evan & Jaron, John Wilcox and Art Garfunkel. She's sung The National Anthem and done concerts at both LA Lakers (basketball), and Colorado Avalanche (hockey) games and had Donald Fagan & Walter Becker of Steely Dan as well as Maceo Parker, work on her first two albums. Sally taught herself how to play guitar at 21 while she was attending Brown University for her BA in Medical Anthropology but she'd already been writing songs since she was 15, about which she describes:

"These songs just started coming to me in my sleep when I was 15. I didn't know how to play an instrument yet and so I'd just keep this mini-recorder next to my bed. I'd wake at any odd hour of the night, [with] some song harassing me, to hum some horse crackley lyrics into a little mic before falling back into dreaming, forgetting I'd ever woken up in the first place and always curious in the morning what ghosts had possessed me to paint such songs, sometimes almost finished before I'd opened my eyes. It was as if these stories were coming to me, asking me to be brave enough to open my heart to them and speak their truth through my eyes. I've always been clear that it's the stories that hunt me, shoot me down like birds in the sky and make me their tellers, not the other way around. Sometimes it can be painful. Sometimes very disorienting. Sometimes I yearn for it though, the way floating longs to fly. Sometimes it grows me stronger and stronger until I feel my life all at once, all over me. And then….. It's amazing.".
