Taylor Steele has been exposed to old country and bar band blues/rock since she could talk & walk. She would sing 50's & 60's rock songs and sometimes even strum on an unplugged acoustic guitar on stage, without knowing any chords of course. She grew up in Collinsville, IL with her single mother who always encouraged her talent. She learned to play guitar at age 8 and started writing at age 11. She now lives in Teutopolis, IL with her coffee roasting boyfriend Danny and their dog Ellie as a full time musician and a music mentor and teacher through Tri Music NFP.

Americana Happy Hour, 5-7pm, every Thursday at The Rose Bowl Tavern. Great music, great drink specials, no cover, no frills. Tips for the bands always appreciated.
