Joybeth Taylor

There’s a famous saying in country music – that it’s all about the song. It’s never been more true than it is for Joybeth Taylor. A rising singer-songwriter and unflinching storyteller, her work is as authentic as it gets, like sitting with a friend as she unpacks the deepest corners of her heart. Taylor doesn’t just write and sing country music, she lives it.


Twenty one- years- old and hailing from Pelham, Alabama, Taylor’s country roots run deep. She first hit the stage at the tender age of four and began devouring patsy cline’s catalog, diving into the craft of songwriting shortly thereafter. She began writing her own tunes as a way to work through a difficult, at times turbulent childhood, and developed a taste for modern-day country poets like Lori McKenna and Travis Meadows. “It got me to where I wasn’t going insane with all these thoughts,” she explains. “It gave me a way to put everything I was going through on paper, and just get it out."


“I want listeners to feel like they know me one-on-one, like we just had a conversation outside of the song,” she explains. “The most important thing to me is not being a star, it’s that connection. There were a lot of times in my life growing up that I felt alone, and my only way of getting through it was listening to music by people I looked up to. Hopefully one day, I can be that person for someone else.”
