Taylor Roberts

Experience an evening of masterful artistry with Taylor Roberts, the acclaimed 7-string guitarist whose nearly three-decade career has redefined versatility in modern jazz. Rooted in the jazz tradition yet unbound by genre, Roberts seamlessly weaves together jazz, R&B, classic rock, pop, and more—creating a sound that is unmistakably his own.

Shaped by years of study with legendary educators Barry Greene, Keith Javors, and Bunky Green, Roberts brings a rare combination of nuance, dexterity, and emotional depth to every performance. His imaginative reworkings of both timeless standards and contemporary favorites have captivated audiences around the world, from the Jacksonville Jazz Festival to international tours with the Christian Tamburr Quintet. Even icons like the Rolling Stones have tapped Roberts for private performances, recognizing his musical sophistication and expressive power.

For nearly a decade, Roberts served as the in-house performer at The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island, cultivating an international following and securing residencies at luxury resorts across the globe. His collaborations span genres and generations, including work with Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, Charlie Hunter, Maria Howell, Terreon Gully, Andy McKee, Greg Koch, Dan Wilson, Ted Ludwig, and many others.

Whether performing in intimate rooms or on world-class stages, Taylor Roberts continues to honor the lineage of guitar greats—Wes Montgomery, Tommy Emmanuel, Russell Malone, Charlie Hunter, and Tuck Andress—while steadily carving out his own place among them. This is a rare opportunity to witness an artist at the height of his craft.
