Taylor Harp & The Shield

About Me

"It is a rarity to find someone this adept at an instrument, and who also has such a strong and clear control of their voice, that both individually could move you. Taylor Harp, a singer-songwriter based in Vancouver BC, is one of these people. His voice has a gentle warmness that soothes your soul like the sun and effortlessly drifts over a blues and rock influenced acoustic guitar littered with subtle inflections that are both well-crafted and perfectly emphasize his soulful laid-back vocal approach."
Ariana Rock - Exclaim! Magazine____________________________________________________________ _ "Taylor Harp is a catchy lyricist with unforgettable rhythms and grooves. It's the kind of music that you find yourself diving into and swimming about in, totally oblivious to space and time. Harp is a big concert act in the making."- Ryan Fletcher, host of CJSF 90.1 FM's Melodies in Mind
