maria taylor tours, preps digi-ep

Nebraskan song writer Maria Taylor has always penned the kind of pretty and purposeful tunes it’s all too easy to turn to when the going gets a little rough. Her knack for sad, semi-self-depreciating tales – especially those set to the stand alone strum along her godforsaken acoustic guitar – are the stuff of tragedy. Naturally, of course, we love it…

Which is why we’re certainly excited to report this piece of news; in addition to traveling the country on a co-headlining tour this June/July, Taylor is set to release the Savannah Drive EP in a couple weeks. Recorded with producer Andy Lemaster, the digital only release will feature a few new tracks, plus new acoustic renditions of cuts previously featured on albums 11:11 and Lynn Teeter Flower. Savannah Drive hits the digital space June 17th. Check out a full list of tour dates below. – David Pitz
