Adrian Taylor and Spaghetti Junction
from Top Hill Recording Podcast Hosted by Neil Johnstone/Brad Weston
Adrian grew up in a single parent household in Anderson, California, a small Northern California valley town. He always knew music was his passion in life. Adrian met his father for the first time at the age of 13 and suddenly understood where he got his drive for music. He went home after that meeting, taught himself guitar, and started writing songs. He grew up on hearing Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, and Elvis. As he got older, he started listening to artists like Sturgill Simpson and Tyler Childers. These influences changed his entire writing style. Adrian played his first bar at the age of 16. Later that same year, he started opening for the house cover band doing hour sets. At 17, the bar gave Adrian his own spot and he was playing 3 hour sets full of covers and originals. He started to hone his sound after the age of 18, falling in love with Americana and Appalachian music. At 21, he moved to Louisville, Kentucky to get his career started opening for artist like Mitchell TenPenny, Thompson Square, and Caylee Hammack, all before releasing his first song. His first song “Drugs, Words, and Feelings”, released Feb 29, 2020, came to him in a dream and was recorded in a semi-truck reefer trailer with a group of friends that wanted to help him out. Since moving to Louisville he has been working heavily in the studio to release an album and an EP.
