Event Details
The backroads of America tell its truest stories. Theheartbreak and heartbeat of the country thumps the loudest inthe cracks between its big cities. A 2021 census in Blanchester,OH registers the villages population at around 4,230 people.Nolan Taylor isnt quite sure of the exact number, but heknows its small from growing up in this place with his dad andolder brother. His father managed plants and factories, yetmoney was scarce and the winters were brutal. Mom battledaddiction and mental struggles, eventually estranging her fromthe boys. When he could finally afford a left-handed guitar, he started to write and record music of his own, grafting hard-earned wisdom, heart-wrenching memories, and hypnotic melodies to rustic and ruddy acoustic phrasing.As a kid, he found solace in music. He discovered TheGrateful Dead through his dad and developed an appreciation forPinegrove. Throughout junior high, he studied classic MTVUnplugged concerts by the likes of Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, andNirvana. Even though he primarily focused on wrestling, workingout, football, and basketball, he finally picked up a left-handedguitar in high school. After graduating, he spent years giggingaround West Virginia, Virginia, and Kentucky, playing anywhereand everywhere. In 2023, a video of Nolan performing 68 in thewoods went viral with 2.6 million YouTube views on the Radio WVYouTube Channel. Achieving virality from obscurity and gatheringmillions of streams, he tells a true story all his own via a series of2023 singles for Atlantic Records, beginning with Wicked Ways.
