6-7 PM:   Josh Taylor

Members: Free | Non-Members: $5

Josh Taylor is a guitarist, composer, and singer who cut his teeth in Nashville, Tennessee before moving back to his hometown of Madison, Alabama. He is an award-winning fingerstyle guitarist and took home the state champion title during the 2019 Athens Old Time Fiddlers Convention Fingerstyle Guitar Competition and was the runner-up in 2021 with plans to reclaim his title. Josh is heavily influenced by the work of guitarists such as Tommy Emmanuel, Jerry Reed, Chet Atkins, and Joe Robinson, and his time spent studying these artists has yielded a sound reminiscent of his heroes while still providing his own modern twist. Josh is a member of the Chet Atkins Appreciation Society and through his time with them has played with and for some of the best guitarists in the world, including the aforementioned Tommy Emmanuel. Taylor’s sound covers a wide range of genres, and he can go from country to jazz to pop to classical and even rock ‘n’ roll seamlessly (and somehow being able to do it all on one acoustic guitar!). He is also an educator and teaches privately at Colors Fine Arts Center in Huntsville, Alabama.

Enjoy $5 admission on Thursdays from 5 p.m. – 8 p.m. at the Huntsville Museum of Art. Explore the Museum’s latest exhibitions or visit favorites from the Museum collection during this after-hours event. Wine service has returned. Guests aged 21+ will be able to purchase a glass of wine from the Church Street Wine Shoppe for $7
