Biografía:
Influenced by the songs of Guy Clark, Jerry Jeff Walker, The Doors and Bob Dylan, Larry Joe Taylor started out in the early 70s as simply a fan. Some 40 years later, he finds himself right in the middle of the biggest dream of his life…to not only be a respected songwriter in his own right, but also having the opportunity to present songwriters and music he respects on one of the biggest stages in the U.S.…the Larry Joe Taylor Texas Music Festival, now in its 22nd year drawing crowds 30,000 plus.
