WARNING

🚫 This is probably not for you if...

• You've never once let a piece of music wash over you in the dark and felt something stir in your chest
• You are a proud Led Zeppelin purist who believes those songs belong only on vinyl, played loud — certainly not reborn through an acoustic guitar, a singing violin, a warm cello, and the heartbeat of percussion in an intimate room
• The idea of sitting quietly in the dark while acoustic guitar and strings reimagine "Kashmir" sounds less like magic and more like a scheduling conflict
• Original music born from the Zeppelin vibe, strikes you as a perfectly valid sleep aid
• You prefer your rock legends safely in the past, not drawn out note by note on a cello or violin just a few feet away from your face
• The thought of a violin doing something to "Whole Lotta Love" makes you deeply nervous
• You are fundamentally opposed to goosebumps
• You simply cannot risk being moved

"The music and setting was "other worldly"

Will, last night's show was magnificent. Now I remember why I felt at home when I came to Austin in 1980. There is something precious here, (Holy, actually) and you are a part of that. Thank you. Shara T.

More audience testimonials for Will Taylor

"Wow, we are so grateful to you for such an incredible evening. George and I were so high from the creative energy and the almost other-worldly sense of collaboration. What a divine life you have to be able to participate in such moments of group creativity. It made me jealous that my work world is so isolated. Ah well, it was just heavenly to be part of the experience. We can't wait for the next Strings Attached concert."

Sarah Bird, award winning author

"Once again, very magical and heart felt music, we can feel it when it comes from your hearts, because like tuning, it strikes our chords as well and moves us." - Dan

"The ensemble is fantastic. Each player is very gifted and adds to the whole. No one dominates or over plays. You are the best group I've heard in Austin in a long while." - Becky M.
