For being only 13 years old this gifted young lady does quite a bit. Taylor sings and yodels current, old country, and western music while playing the piano, guitar, fiddle and mandolin. She's delighted audiences at some of the biggest county fairs in the Pacific Northwest and at the tender age of only 8 she won the Rogue Valley Fun Center Talent Contest in the 8-to-12 year old category. No wonder, she's been performing on stage since the age of 5, and at 6 she played the lead role of Dorothy in the "Wizard of Oz" musical, and has appeared in countless musical performances at bluegrass festivals, fairs, local churches and other events.
Aside from the performing arts Taylor Rose is an accomplished rodeo girl, gymnast and award-winning artist.
Taylor has started bringing her younger sister, Bailey, on stage with her. Bailey is a 9-year old who plays piano, fiddle, the mandolin and has a knack for telling jokes on stage. In her spare time Taylor enjoys time with family, church, several close friends and her ranch animals -- especially her horse Sassy.
Taylor says about her musical influences:
"My parents are the biggest influence to my music as my father has played music
all of his life including rock and roll dance bands. My mother is the
country influence as she always says 'I was country when country wasn't
cool'"
“Alison Krauss, because she’s a great singer and musician, very dedicated and has a great sense of humor.”
“Martina McBride, she’s an awesome vocalist and a good example with strong family values.”
“Dolly Parton, she has the whole package---terrific songwriter and singer, dynamic personality and a smart businesswoman.”
“Brad Paisley, a clever songwriter who incorporates his great sense of humor into his songs, I think he’s an all around good person.”
“Elvis Presley!!!, He is one of my most favorite performers of all time. I LOVE him! I have Elvis, Elvis, Elvis all over my room!”
Taylor was born with the Luck O’ the Irish on St. Patrick’s Day in 1995, and her proud and happy Irish Great-Grandfather was there to welcome her.
This Irish heritage has brought her a lot of good fortune in everything she does. Taylor, of course, likes shamrocks and wouldn’t you know, her favorite color is green. Look for her newest release coming out soon, “I’m One Lucky Girl”.
