Floridian songbird Gileah Taylor’s work shows that she is well acquainted with  the beaches and bays of her home state, as they set the scene in so many of  her songs. The plot lines, however, often deviate from the sunshine and blue  skies Florida is known for. She returns to the 30A Songwriters Festival with a  new four song EP, I Call This One, released in the summer of 2025 on southern  California label Velvet Blue Music.

Bearded Gentleman Music says: “Taylor has this soothing, world-weary alto that  I find impressive... it’s care-worn and accessible...by turning the focus of her  songs outward, she avoids coming across as maudlin or twee, which deepens  her impact. By striking a keen balance between piano- and guitar-led tunes, she  knows when and how to let her voice breathe.” Perfect music “if you’re in the  mood for a contemporary artist channeling the vintage sounds of Emmylou  Harris, Over the Rhine, and Sam Phillips.”

Gileah has been a live guest on NPR’s Echoes. You can hear her song "Going  Home" in the Netflix original series 13 Reasons Why. Her newest full-length  record and EP were produced by Nashville brothers Gideon Klein and Gabe  Klein, and feature a string quartet led by Gideon on cello.
