About Taylor Goldsmith
Taylor Goldsmith (born Taylor Zachary Goldsmith in Los Angeles, CA, on 16 August 1985 ) is an American singer-songwriter, guitarist, and record producer (and the son of Lenny Goldsmith who toured as the lead singer of Tower of Power in the 1980s). He serves as the lead singer, guitarist, and chief songwriter of American folk-rock band Dawes (since 2009), plus he is a member of Middle Brother (since 2010), and The New Basement Tapes (since 2014). In 2002, Goldsmith formed post-punk band called Simon Dawes with guitarist (and high school classmate) Blake Mills. After the departure of Blake Mills from Simon Dawes, Goldsmith formed a new band called Dawes with his former bandmate Wylie Gelber (bass), his younger brother Griffin Goldsmith (drums)—both of Simon Dawes' last lineup—and new addition Tay Strathairn (keyboards). For all seven of the band's studio albums, Taylor Goldsmith has served as the band's front man, lead singer, chief songwriter, and lead guitarist. In 2010, Goldsmith joined Matt Vasquez of Delta Spirit and John McCauley of Deer Tick to form the band Middle Brother. In 2014, Goldsmith was asked by producer T Bone Burnett to join a project called The New Basement Tapes that wrote and recorded songs based on uncovered lyrics written by Bob Dylan in 1967. Apart from his primary projects, Goldsmith has also done work as a session musician. He has performed on albums by Jackson Browne, John Fogerty, Dave Rawlings, Mandy Moore, and Sara Watkins, among others. Goldsmith has written and co-written songs for other bands, including songs on his wife Mandy Moore's seventh album "Silver Landings", Conor Oberst's "Salutations", Brandon Flowers' "The Desired Effect", and Robert Ellis' "The Lights from the Chemical Plant".
