Soulful Songstress, Taylor Barton To Perform at The Standard Hotel, East Village Penthouse (25 Cooper Square, NYC) on February 3rd, 2014 With The Legendary G.E. Smith from Saturday Night Live and Southside Johnny

Green Mirror Music and G. E. Smith Are Proud To Announce The Release of Taylor Barton-Smith’s New Record Everybody Knows on February 18, 2014

“I think that these are two of the best songs Taylor has written- “Blindsided” had its genesis in the actual event of an old local church burning down and “Everybody Knows” is just a beautiful song. I love finding different ways to play it on guitar. Only the best songs allow that kind of constant reinvention.” -G.E. Smith

Meg Griffin from Sirius Radio says, “Taylor Barton travels in songs… seeking answers to questions that take courage to ask. On her latest release, Everybody Knows, the record lends itself to stories of love, loss and solitude. If songs can make us feel less alone in the world, Taylor Barton has written a few.”

“Taylor writes from the trenches of the self-examined life: motherhood, sobriety, rock wife-dom and grief, With soul mate G.E. Smith as her sideman, she creates aching American classics.” - Paula Cole

January 22, 2014- Taylor Barton perfected her trade in the presence of musical royalty, spending time with her husband, guitarist G.E. Smith on the set of Saturday Night Live. Taylor’s silky voice resonates with torrential tones that easily reveal a true renaissance woman, using her singular artistic point of view to create original inspiring music.

Taylor’s new release Everybody Knows is due out digitally via Green Mirror Music/ The Orchard on February 18, 2014. Produced by Patti Smith’s Producer and Bassist, Tony Shanahan, Everybody Knows features eleven original songs, Taylor has captured the hardest struggles in her life in order to find closure from tragedy. The result in song is moving and uplifting to anyone trying to move through loss and suffering. Taylor says, “The record morphed into a sort of psychic tsunami and helped carry me through the rough times.”

The single, “Blindsided” is a metaphor for sudden loss. Barton explains, “The song uses a torched Long Island church from the 1630’s as another lens to view ruin.” Barton’s influences include Joan Armatrading, Patti Scialfa, Tracy Chapman, Tom Petty and Fleetwood Mac. All are united by their deep roots as storytellers and should welcome this album into their canon.

Edie Brickell exclaims, “Uplifting, hypnotic porch toe tapping story-telling swingin’ ethereal groovin’ music.
