Earl Taylor

Profile of the performer Earl Taylor: TAYLOR, EARL (1929-1984)

A mandolin player and tenor singer in the Bill Monroe style, Earl Taylor, a native of southwestern Virginia, came to Cincinnati from Baltimore and became a fixture on the Cincinnati bar scene. He played stints at the Ken-Mill, Aunt Maudie’s, and the Minute Man Inn. Performing on harmonica as well as mandolin, he did a lot of sessions at King Studios with out-of-town bluegrass bands such as the Stanley Brothers. Earl Taylor and his band, the Stoney Mountain Boys, were the first bluegrass group to play at New York City’s famous Carnegie Hall (in 1959).
