An Acoustic Experience with

Chris Dreyer and Scott Taylor

 

Singer-songwriter-rhythm guitarist Chris Dreyer and guitar virtuoso Scott Taylor provide an amazing blend of high energy and beautiful subtlety to their passionate live performances. Performing from their enormous catalogue of original music and eclectic arsenal of cover songs, this duo is a perfect act for almost any venue featuring live music.

22-year old Florida State students who have performed together since January 2001, these two musicians have already received great response and critical acclaim for their wildly fun and intense music-making.

 

Reviews from the 12 Bar Club, London

“Playing a guest set, Chris and Scott won over the

   12-Bar, in fact, two encores were demanded.”

 

“These guys just blew up the place. When do they play again?”

 

“…An awesomely talented young writer from the USA… ”

 

Chris and Scott met in January 2001 while studying abroad. Both were students at the Florida State London Study Centre. A chance occurrence had them meeting and jamming one night in a London flat. Chris was immediately drawn to Scott’s guitar playing, and it was not long before Scott would be blown away after hearing some of Chris's original songs. Their chemistry was apparent to everyone immediately. Scott had the musical ability with no songs of his own. Chris had impressive original songs, but was looking for something to make them really come alive. What started as a small jam session turned into a large musical revival that lasted until 8am, neither the players nor their listeners wanted the night to end.

 

 The infectious sound of the duo's music led to 3 appearances at London's famous 12 Bar Club. In their first-ever appearance live, 2 encores were demanded. The second appearance, playing to a capacity crowd, was equally well-received. The show ended with the audience demanding that Taylor perform Tim Reynolds’ wildly difficult work "Stream". At their final performance in London, the seating had to be removed in front of the stage to allow standing-room only. 

 

Throughout the semester, Scott and Chris recorded a 7 song EP at Clockwork Studios in London with producer Jono Buchanan. That served as a more complete product than the 14-song Demo Chris recorded in the Fall of 2000. Since then, they have self-released an EP, September. Another project, House Music, is currently in production.

 

Chris Dreyer and Scott Taylor now reside in Tallahassee where they are finishing their studies at The Florida State University. They can regularly be seen playing at local bars and clubs, or performing at functions for Greek and other social organizations. Their grass roots audience continues to grow with every performance.
