Taylor Ashton

A road trip. A banjo. A nation rediscovered in song.

Taylor Ashton’s latest album, Stranger To The Feeling, was recorded along a 4,000-mile cross-country journey, with each track capturing the soul of a different place and moment—from the quiet of Brooklyn’s Prospect Park to the vast skies of Wyoming’s Bighorn National Forest. With his rich voice, warm storytelling, and effortless musicianship, Ashton invites listeners into an intimate sonic scrapbook of America, stitched together with guitar, banjo, and heart.

These songs bloom with a rare kind of immediacy, shaped by outdoor sessions and spontaneous collaborations with friends old and new—including Rachael Price (Lake Street Dive), Buck Meek (Big Thief), and Theo Katzman (Vulfpeck). At once deeply personal and instantly relatable, Ashton’s music resonates with fans of Nick Drake, Paul Simon, and the new generation of folk poets.
