Taylor Bungard started his musical journey on stages in downtown Tucson, AZ, USA as a 16-year-old with big black X’s on the back of both hands letting the bartender know that he was not eligible to have the complimentary drinks that came with being part of the band. He has had a storied career including a 10 year run with Tucson’s The Tryst that got him voted Tucson Weekly’s Best Bass Player in 2011, and a similar length run alongside one of Tucson’s favorite divas in Anna Warr and Giant Blue.
Drawing influence from blues, rock, country, soul, and pop music through the ages, Taylor weaves a tapestry of melodies and chord structures that are fresh and novel, but smack of great musical decades long past. His lyrics flow from heartfelt to funny to stingingly sardonic with ease and relatability, sung in a pleasing baritone that would elicit a stern nod from Robert Goulet standing in the wings before dissolving into the shadows and vanishing into thin air.
