Music

Taylor Buck was born in Milwaukee, WI January 25, 1982. He moved west at a young age and grew up in the beautiful valleys of Southern Oregon. His father, Daniel, is a retired school teacher, and his mother Ginny, owns an insurance business. Taylor's only sister, Arica, is 3 yrs older. Taylor got involved in the arts at an early age. His father played guitar throughout his childhood and Taylor began playing when he was 12 years old. Taylor's musical influences growing up were very diverse. His dad mainly played blues and folk records but was also very into classical music. His parents took him to many classical concerts when he was younger that influenced his style and drove him to compose his own works.

Taylor is a mainly self-taught guitar player. Overtones of bluesy, flamenco, and celtic styles come through in his playing. His father taught him the basic chords when he was 12, and then Taylor took a few guitar lessons from Louis Jauregui (former Santana guitar player). From there, Taylor inter-mixed different styles of music to create a unique blend of his own. He went on to be in various bands but mainly focused on personal compositions. Taylor is currently the lead guitarist for the band, Muzeum, which is based out of New York. He currently resides in southern Oregon.
