Award-winning, Toronto-based singer-songwriter Julian Taylor now in the UK touring his current album Beyond the Reservoir that was released in October. Be sure and catch him, see dates below.
In his album review, Mike Davies concludes: “An album steeped in deeply personal growing pains that touch on universal feelings, veined with sadness and joy, anguish and hope, touching on the confessional spirit and resonant emotions of a Springsteen or Browne, it confirms Taylor as one of the finest voices in contemporary Canadian folk music.”
The album was co-produced by Taylor and longtime production partner/collaborator Saam Hashemi, mixed by Hashemi, and mastered by Noah Mintz and was recorded at three studio locations — Canterbury, The Fireside Studio, and The Woodshed in Canada.
“I really enjoyed writing and producing this new album,” Taylor says. “I dug down deep. It’s extremely personal, like my last record, and I’ve taken that to heart. It took me longer to write this piece of art as I was learning and teaching myself so many things along the way. I’ve realised that sharing my personal truth and the stories of my life, as they are and were, is a real gift to myself and others. It’s not easy to love ourselves, and it’s not easy to love in general. I have a difficult time with it, and as I shed my own skin to reveal that kind of vulnerability, I find it connects me to the human experience in a more meaningful way.”
