Dudley Taft An introduction to the man himself: Dudley Taft grew up in a country called the "Midwest", where he learned the values of friendship, roots blues, rock 'n' roll and a good ear of corn. With a background that includes Berklee College of Music as well as years touring with rock bands Sweet Water and Second Coming, Dudley is a thinking man s blues rocker. There s plenty of swagger here, but also the sensitivity of a thoughtful songwriter. In his music you ll hear delta roots mingling with Seattle grunge, a southern twang with a highoctane crunch. Dudley s music career began in high school when he founded the band Space Antelope with friend Trey Anastasio (of Phish). In the 1990 s he joined Seattle band Sweet Water, touring the states with Monster Magnet, Candlebox and Alice in Chains. After recording two albums for Atlantic, he left the band to resurrect Second Coming.
Dudley Taft More touring followed with an album on Capitol Records and a taste of success thanks to the single Vintage Eyes which made it to #10 on the Rock Radio charts. In 2006, Dudley started playing blues rock in Seattle, and released the album Left For Dead in 2011, Deep Deep Blue in 2013 and Screaming In The Wind in 2014. His latest release, Skin and Bones is available on itunes, Amazon and CDBaby. Dudley now makes his home in Cincinnati, OH. Dudley's music can be heard in movies and on television, most notably The Sixth Sense, and on That Metal Show and Gene Simmon's Family Jewels.

Album Reviews Bluesmagazine.nl: Een lekker stevig en swingend live album van een groot talent. Blues Rock Review: This is an album that will have you jamming out and hitting repeat over and over again. Bluesblast Magazine: Skin And Bones is direct and powerful. Taft s a true professional. Despite the one-take nature of the recording process, the end product is clean and crisp. If you like your blues with a rock edge, you ll find this one both different and appealing. Bman s Blues Report: Taft uses the vocals in an interesting way perfectly complimenting the instrumentation. Fresh Biscuits: Screaming In The Wind is a diverse construct, with a tight band, skillful performances, and hot guitar licks that will keep you coming back. Blues Rock Review: Deep Deep Blue is one hell of a ride, start to finish. American Blues Scene: Deep, Deep Blue is the full meal deal with dessert! Blues Underground Network: "Left For Dead is a non-stop feast for the ears in the timeless tradition of old ZZ Top and Stevie Ray Vaughan, which is sure to be recognized as one of 2010's best albums in this style.
