Taylor’s Director of Artist & Entertainment Relations, Tim Godwin, is excited to present this year’s performances. “One of my favorite things about NAMM each year is curating our diverse lineup of Taylor artists and bands," Godwin says. "It's incredibly rewarding to spotlight such talented musicians from all over the world, each of whom has a unique musical story to share with the help of their Taylor guitar. Every year without fail I come away from NAMM feeling musically recharged by the performances on our stage.”
