Willy Tea Taylor’s passing through town again, and we’ve got the opportunity to have him do a last-minute lil show down here at the Laurelthirst Pub. He’ll be doing a show on Tuesday night following the regular bluegrass happy hour show. His pal Kris Stuart (PDX Family Band) opens the evening and likely accompanies him! WILLY TEA TAYLOR / KRIS STUART TUESDAY, JULY 7th ~ 9pm LAURELTHIRST PUB $15 cash cover “There is no question that Willy Tea Taylor’s life as a singer/songwriter was predetermined – his role realized the moment he wrote his first song. His inspirations drawn from two separate wells; Living the life of a cattleman’s kid and experiencing true visionaries music like Greg Brown, John Hartford, and Guy Clark. The image of Guy Clark and friends sitting around the kitchen table loaded with ashtrays full of butts, half-smoked cigarettes, food, and booze on one Christmas Eve in 1975 burned into Taylors’s soul. Those guys, swapping songs without pretense, lit Willy Tea’s fire. And ever since, its led purpose with passion – finding a hang by curating relationships through musical friendships that get him closer to his own Clark style kitchen table.” Willy Tea Taylor’s passing through town again, and we’ve got the opportunity to have him do a last-minute lil show down here at the Laurelthirst Pub.
