Taylor Guitars has announced its artist lineup for the 2014 Winter NAMM Show in Anaheim, California. This year brings a mix of notable songwriters, a Grammy Award-winning act, emerging artists, and a first for fans around the globe: an invitation to join the celebration through live streaming of all artist performances in the Taylor Guitars Room.
The performances kick off at 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 23,
with country music newcomer Alana Springsteen. Showing poise and
songwriting chops beyond her years, Springsteen has made waves in
Nashville's songwriting circles, garnering the attention of Sugarland's
Kristian Bush, with whom she has enjoyed co-writing.
Following
Springsteen, the stage will welcome Vicci Martinez, a semi-finalist on
season 1 of NBC's The Voice. A fan favorite, Martinez spent 2013 touring the country in support of Vicci, her most recent album. Closing out Thursday night
will be duo Johnnyswim. Incorporating elements of rock, folk, soul and
the blues, the pair recently earned critical acclaim as a VH1 "You
Oughta Know" act.
On Friday,
Taylor master luthier Andy Powers and renowned songwriter Jack Tempchin
will perform at 3:00 p.m. Tempchin, known for writing/co-writing the
Eagles' hits "Peaceful Easy Feeling," "Already Gone," and co-writing
Glenn Frey's "You Belong to the City," will perform material from his
own extensive discography. At 4:00 p.m., YouTube sensation and soulful
songstress Tori Kelly will offer songs off her new album, Foreward.
Indie rockers Good Old War will end the day with their delicate
melodies and multipart harmonies as they perform material off their
recent album, Come Back as Rain.
On Saturday,
the company welcomes Nashville-based singer-songwriter Ben Rector.
Rector has gained fans coast-to-coast with his nostalgic lyrics,
sentimental melodies and skilled guitar work. His most recent album, The Walking In Between, has earned him spots on Live with Jimmy Kimmel,
AXS TV, and performance dates across the nation. Following Rector will
be emerging singer-songwriter Cody Lovaas. At only 15 years old,
Lovaas's beach-rock style has attracted the attention of other notable
singer-songwriters, including Saturday night's
headliner, Jason Mraz. Mraz will perform 5:00 p.m. accompanied by
crowd-pleasing folk-rockers Raining Jane, a standout act from Taylor's
2013 NAMM lineup.
Starting Thursday, January 23, at 2:45 p.m., fans will be able to log on to the Taylor Guitars website (taylorguitars.com)
and watch their favorite artists and emerging acts perform in the
Taylor Guitars Room at NAMM. Fans attending the NAMM Show are welcome to
view the performances live by visiting the Taylor Room located at
213ABC.
