Born in Brattleboro, Vermont, Louise Taylor got her first guitar at age 12, and by 15 she was on the road, in what became a seven-year journey hitchhiking and playing on street corners around the country. Along the way, she honed her skills as a writer, singer and player of power and grace, and earned her stripes as a master storyteller. On stage, this modern troubadour weaves strongly poetic tales from the deepest parts of the heart with her smoky alto voice, deft guitar work, and a fiery, foot-stomping presence, inviting listeners on a unique, sensuous and deeply personal path. Louise is a well-known figure in the New England singer-songwriter scene and has released several albums, most recently Written in Red (Signature).
