Joe Taylor is a refreshing new talent writing some great songs and I’m very excited about his next release. I’m really proud to play his music on my show.” 
Gene Godfrey – Radio DJ – Classic FM 88.9 WBZC – Philadelphia, PA 

“Joe Taylor has a talent for creating wonderfully powerful and compelling melodies like few writers I have met. And on top of that, he has the vocal chops to carry them off. His emotionally charged vocals are undeniable and harken back to the great vocalists of decades past. A great talent yet to be discovered by the masses.”
Hillary Bernstein

“Thoughtful and soulful.”
STEWART BRODIAN 
Radio Programmer WDIY – Allentown, PA.

“Though we usually don’t book musicians or actors that don’t have major representation, we are strongly considering Joe for a Canada A.M. slot as he has a very professional attitude towards performance and a powerful, powerful voice.” 
JON TAYLOR -  Producer-Canada A.M., Toronto, Canada

“Joe Taylor came all the way from New York to perform at the Songwriter Series. With an amazing and powerful voice that could be heard outside the venue, Taylor sang selections from his latest album, “Try.”
CARLA MERRILL (Wednesday 8/2/06) – The Corner, Auburn, AL 

The Sweet sound of Joe Taylor’s vocals and soulfully strummed chords from his friendly guitar could be heard oozing out of The Kinetic Playground doors Friday night… Joe performed with expressively poignant and heartfelt lyrics from his own music mixed in with covers from Boston’s,”More than a Feeling” to Journey’s “Lights” as he magnetized this ‘Kinetic’ energized crowd and brought them down to their knees cheering for more. Lighters raised into the air and arms swaying back and forth…This is what “Life” is called for Joe Taylor! (Track from “Try” cd) 
By Jewels (Sunday 4/9/06 11:16 AM) – centerstagechicago.com

Actors Entertainment’s Sidebeat Music caught up with Big Shot Reub and the Reloaders at the Whisky on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, California. Big Shot Reub, also known as Reuben Vigil, is a quality blues guitar slinger. Vigil fronts trio Big Shot Reub & The Reloaders, who have released a tasty new ten-song set of sumptuous music entitled, ROUNDHOUSE BLUES (Hat and Case Music). The CD was mastered by multi-Grammy-winning Charlie Watts (renowned for his work on Fleetwood Mac’s Rumors among others), while being engineered and produced by Glen Laughlin (Dickies, Cherry Bluestorms).

Meet Big Shot Reub & The Reloaders (Reuben Vigil, lead guitar-vocals); Jodie Hill (bass); Ric Lee (drums).

The songs on ROUNDHOUSE BLUES reflect Vigil’s diverse influences – B.B. King, Elvis Costello, Carlos Santana, Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix among them. From opening track “So Much Inside Me” (“a jump-swing tribute to the greats, including Wynone Harris and Louis Jordan,” explains Vigil) and melodic “Love’s Come Knocking” (“a song designed to comfort a mending heart…speaking what you want and not what you have”); to the Latin-flavored “Viva Bracero” (“a tribute to the unskilled laborers that helped rebuild America after the Great Depression”); and uptempo, toe-tapping “Big Shot Roll” (“a salute to the West Coast swing dancers that are an integral part of the San Diego blues scene”), there is truly something for every Blues lover on ROUNDHOUSE BLUES.

Adorable Mary Jo Gruber snags this exclusive interview with the delightful actor and singer, Elijah Chester. As an actor, and Grammy & Dove Award winner… this North Carolina boy has been performing professionally since the age of 10, where he appeared alongside Broadway stars Jason Graae and Chita Rivera. That’s all it took to convince him that the stage and eventually the screen were his passion.

His studies and training have ranged from the NC School of the Arts in dance, UNC at Greensboro in voice and acting, and the prestigious Juilliard School in NYC for acting and voice. Elijah’s extensive experience and scope of work on stage and screen have taken him around the world and afforded him the opportunity to work with such artists as Francis Ford Coppola and Luciano Pavarotti to other numerous stars of stage, film and television. Along with his top recording awards, Elijah is also proud of debuting at the Metropolitan Opera at the young age of 23.

In recent years, he has broadened his attention to not only music, but also to the screen, and his successes still continue as he develops his craft with dynamic film roles from drama to comedy, as well as a growing list of commercials and voice-overs.

Danish singer Louise Hart released her debut in 2002, she makes poetic and beautiful pop music.

The first half of the new album is really strong with my personal fave “Exactly where you are” (lots of hit potential) as 3rd track and then the lovely title track “Velvet” comes along and you’re nailed to the sofa like watching a true nail-biting movie.

“Kalifornia” has that 80′s soundtrack movie vibe over it that sounds like Pink meets Kelly Clarkson.
D.A.D guitarist Jacob Binzer is doing a guest appearance on the album which is cool but Louise Hart has a very tight back up band.
