Taylor Rae is an Austin-based singer-songwriter whose music blends roots-rock, Americana, folk, blues, and alternative influences into a sound that’s both timeless and modern. Known for her commanding vocals and sharply written songs, she delivers emotionally grounded performances that balance grit, soul, and melodic finesse.

Originally from California’s Santa Cruz Mountains, Rae studied music in Los Angeles before relocating to Texas, where she quickly became a fixture in the Americana and roots scene. Her debut album Mad Twenties broke nationally, spending over 30 weeks on the Americana Radio charts and earning a Top 10 single - one of the longest-charting independently released records of its year.

A seasoned road warrior, Rae has toured extensively across the U.S. and internationally, performing at major festivals and venues including SXSW, AmericanaFest, and beyond. Her live shows are dynamic and deeply engaging, shaped by years of playing hundreds of dates annually and honing a reputation for consistency, professionalism, and connection with audiences.

Praised by No Depression as “a singer fully in command of her vocal gifts,” and highlighted by NPR Music as one of “the best bands we saw at SXSW 2025,” Taylor Rae continues to build momentum as a compelling live act and a trusted name on stages ranging from intimate listening rooms to large festival settings.
