Sharing stages, collaborating, and touring with artists like Nicholas Jamerson (Sundy Best), Mama Said String Band, the Hackensaw Boys, Addie Levy, Sierra Hull and others has proven Taylor's flexibility as not just a banjo player, but a musician who listens. He has toured coast to coast, and continues to collaborate with artists to create exciting new explorations in music.

Taylor’s influences in bluegrass, classical, folk, and jazz musics meld together into a unique style that continues to grow and be influenced by music from all walks of life and parts of the world. Some of the artists that Taylor is most heavily inspired by include Bela Fleck, Bob Dylan, John Coltrane, Emily King, Maurice Ravel, Matt Menefee (Cadillac Sky), Edgar Meyer, John Prine, Joni Mitchell, Allison Brown, and Crooked Still. When not performing, Taylor loves to share the culture of Kentucky’s folk musics through education, drinking tea, and cooking for his friends.
