One of the less flattering compliments that Dore Taylor has ever received is, “Wow, I really like the girl’s voice on that track.” (It’s okay; he was singing harmony in falsetto.) But past the baby face and expressive voice is a collection of profoundly mature and sophisticated songwriting. With every play of Dore’s songs, you will unwrap a new nugget of chocolatey storytelling goodness. His lyrics make you reconsider the way you think about things, finding poignant beauty in even the simplest aspects of everyday life. His unusual talent as a guitar player expresses itself in completely uninhibited chord structure and inventive musical style.
Nearly as compelling as Dore’s melodic gifts is his uniquely mesmerizing on-stage presence, a.k.a. “the dancing.” His energetic performances keep you engrossed until the last harmonic fades away. Known for his tendency to break strings and ruin soundboard finishes, his voice and guitar playing are so full of life that you may find yourself struggling to stay seated. He has a way of making even the most drunk and disinterested bar crowds shut up and pay attention.
As Dore embarks upon his musical career, armed with a basement “recording studio” and homemade demo CDs, he is slowly implanting himself into the memories of everyone who hears him. Come to see him while you can still find a spot in the front row.
