Born in New England and raised in North Carolina, Kate Taylor’s dual musical heritage is one she shares with brothers James, Livingston, Hugh, and her late brother Alex. In this episode of “The Vineyard Scene”, Kate talks about spending summers on the island as a child, and brings us back to the Vineyard of the 60s and 70s with stories about the music scene past and present, and about setting up a life on the island.
One of my favorite things to do while surfing the net is to check out what good home-grown talent is rising to the surface on YouTube and other user generated video sites. The internet is creating an opportunity to democratize music like we’ve never seen before. With this in mind, DocuTunes is launching “DocuTunes Musician of the Week”. We’re asking you to post links below in the comments section to your favorite music related videos you’ve come across while poking around online. Feel free to submit whatever moves you, from the absurd to the sublime, the young musician singing into their webcam to the slick music video. Every week, we’ll pick a winner, and profile their video on the blog. The first winner will be announced on February 14th, 2008.
