My guest today is Julian Taylor, of the Julian Taylor Band. Julian has been a part of the Toronto music scene since the late 90s. In 2001, he enjoyed considerable success with his band Staggered Crossing, but unfortunately massive national and international success would elude them and they would finally break up in 2007. Fortunately, this talented artist could not be held at bay and soon was releasing new and exceptional material that would find its way onto radio, and tv and movie soundtracks. Now, in 2016, he has released an absolute gem in the album Desert Star which is gaining well deserved acclaim across Canada and south of the border. Some have said Julian Taylor represents “The Toronto Sound”, and if that’s the case, I think we have a lot to be proud of. Of note in this episode, it does occasionally contain some strong language and a couple of themes that are of an adult nature. Just giving you the heads up. The music for the podcast has been graciously provided by Toronto's own Modus Factor. The music is from their new album The Picasso Zone, which can be purchased on iTunes or at www.chrislesso.com. Previous episodes can be found on iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play Music, or else at our website, thisismytoronto.com. Thanks for listening, and remember: Don't let it get stuffy in here Toronto. Let's keep the roof open!!
