Smythe & Taylor formed in 1999 when a friend asked TC if she could sub for him at a coffee shop gig. She only knew a handful of songs, but there was $85 to be had! A co-worker suggested she go up to the 28th floor of the office building where she worked to find a fellow named Gary Taylor. It was rumored that he knew how to play over 1000 songs! After getting acquainted, they scheduled a rehearsal to prepare for the one-off gig at Diedrich’s Coffee in the Montrose area of Houston. 20 years, 11 recordings, and 10 European tours later, ‘S&T’ have become well known for their symbiotic harmonies, comedic timing, excellent sound quality, and their unique “3D” style of guitar playing. After Gary won the Woody Guthrie Songwriting Award, S&T were nominated in 5 categories of the Texas Music Awards. They won the “Popular Cover” and “Vocal Group of the Year” awards. Since 2009, S&T have hosted the High Peaks Music Festival in Westcliffe, Colorado, and have enjoyed a standing invitation to bookend the Sweet Home Fest in Guildford, England since 2017. S&T have played hundreds of venues but enjoy performing at listening rooms, festivals, and house concerts the best. www.smytheandtaylor.com
