Soundpost Sessions LOCAL SPOTLIGHT: Taylor Sims w/ Many Mountains

Taylor Sims

Taylor officially started his professional career in music in 2004 at the age of 19. He moved to Colorado with a bluegrass band after college, and they started touring around the state. In 2007 they won both the Telluride Bluegrass band competion and the Rockygrass band competition, the only band to ever win both in the same year. That feat led to much more touring and a rigorous schedule over the next five/six years. They made four full length albums and won lots of awards for those too. Near the end of 2012, the band dissolved. Taylor started playing in a band called Bonnie and the Clydes with his wife, Bonnie Sims. ​In 2017, they got an opportunity to start a sync licensing project, so they started writing and making music with an LA producer friend, Robbie Nevil under the name 'Everybody Loves an Outlaw'. Their song 'I See Red' got placement in the hit movie '356 Days' and subsequently became a huge global hit staying at #1 on the global viral Spotify charts for eleven days, a previously un-matched achievement for an unsigned song from a sound track. With all the heat and love from the song they landed a record deal with Colombia, and they're still recording under this name.

In addition to this project, Taylor has been doing a lot of solo writing and he is excited to release a solo album soon.

Many Mountains

Katie Rose Nelson and Dustin Moran form the folk-rock duo Many Mountains. With their genre-bending sound and songwriting focus, influences range from Gillian Welch to The Rolling Stones. Their songs are interlaced with vocal harmonies and leads that alternate between the two songwriters, creating a rich and lasting sound with lyrics that reflect on the relationship we have with ourselves and others - bringing truthers to the table, facing who we are, and the constant state of becoming.
