The Rosie Taylor Project are now a 6 piece, having recently added new guitarist John, who joins Sam, Jonny, Nick, Sophie and Joel. They inhabit a world seen through the windows of cafes and from the corners of Charles Roka gypsy paintings. Lyricist Jonny Davies evokes a timelessly poetic view of the world - think heartfelt, observational songs of love and loss built around beautiful melodies and infectious hooks. Their sound evokes the gentle qualities of Camera Obscura, Iron & Wine and Nick Drake, but it’s their delicate simplicity and self understanding which stands out and connects to the listener.

Formed in 2006, and signed to Bad Sneakers in 2007, their well received debut single “Black And White Films” was released in September last year and enjoyed airtime on MTV2’s 120 Minutes, while the band also performed a session for Marc Riley’s Brain Surgery show on BBC 6 Music and a TV session for Manchester’s Channel M. Since then the band have spent time recording their album and performing a series of prominent shows, including an official showcase at Manchester’s In The City festival, and shows with Camera Obscura, Jens Lekman, Midlake, Vetiver and Slow Club.
