Taylor Rae spent years touring behind Mad Twenties, the career-launching debut album that spent more than 30 weeks on the Americana Radio charts. While the album's lead single, "Home on the Road," climbed into the Top 10, Rae kept the pedal glued to the metal, driving herself from show to show, watching America unfold outside the car windshield. With her second release, The Void, she takes her eyes off the road and turns her attention inward instead. Produced by Grammy winner Eric Krasno, The Void celebrates the contradictory and complementary parts of the human experience, exploring life's dark corners — from breakups to intergenerational trauma — with a colorful mix of roadhouse roots-rock, modern-day folk, alternative music, blues, and analog Americana. These are the most personal and introspective songs of her career, written by a road warrior who remains dedicated to the long haul… but is taking the time to appreciate the journey, too.
The positive response to "Mad Twenties" catapulted Taylor Rae onto a series of nationwide tours, performing to sold-out crowds alongside luminaries like Sierra Hull, John Craigie, Pokey LaFarge, as well as headlining shows with her own band. One of the unique aspects of the album is its fusion of various genres, which has allowed Taylor Rae to captivate a wide range of audiences across the country.

Henry Carrigan of No Depression described Taylor Rae's musical prowess, noting, "Taylor Rae’s edgy vocals slide easily from tender to tough, from a gentle whisper on folk ballads to soaring shouts on the blues and blues-rock striders. The album introduces a singer fully in command of her vocal gifts and a songwriter who enfolds her lyric sensibility in haunting musical sketches."

Taylor Rae is not just an engaging solo artist; she is also a dynamic performer with her accomplished five-piece band, making her an act to watch in the Americana music scene. Her music effortlessly traverses a spectrum of emotions, enchanting listeners with honest vocals, compelling songwriting, and endearing storytelling abilities.
