Keith Taylor

We Singer-Songwriter-Guitarist

Born in western North Carolina and reared between the Carolina Mountains (Spruce Pine) and the Great Lakes of Michigan (Detroit to Petoskey), Keith is a blend of southern genteel and mid-western influences. Now based in Durham, North Carolina Keith splits his private time between the Carolina Mountains and the Florida Gulf Coast. He’s a powerful vocalist who sings Blues, Folk, Folk-Rock, Rock-A-Billy and Americana. "Everyone on my father's side was a musician. My dad played trombone and clarinet. My uncle Dick plays the Spoons, is a fabulous Clogger and a tremendous Crooner. My Aunt Dean and Uncle Avery Sullins owned the local music store for over 50 years (Honolulu Conservatory of Music)." Dean and Avery's son (William "Bill" Avery Sullins) started Keith playing in bands. Together they joined the River City Band, eventually forming the powerful Avery Taylor Band. Their eldest son, Skip Sullins, has always been an inspiration to Keith and still carries on the tradition of being a working professional musician and great entertainer in the Charleston, SC area.
