  • Bio

    2010 CEA Nominees for Blues "Off the Rack" ranked #59 on WNKU's Top 89 of 2010 .. "The chemistry between the two makes them sound bigger than they are, as Taylor creates harp lines that soar and lead as well as support and keep things tempo. DIG: Kick-ass harmonica playing, warm and intimate Blues." - Mike Breen, Citybeat Magazine MPMF Preview .. .. At one of the standout performances of the 2009 Midpoint Music Festival, four mohawk-sporting punkers were crowding the stage at a packed and rowdy Courtyard Cafe, whooping and hollering and leading the cheers for....an acoustic Blues duo? .. .. 46 Long (Jonathan Reynolds – Guitar/Vocals, and Blake Taylor - Harmonica / Vocals) has been supplying the greater Cincinnati area with high-energy semi-acoustic Blues since the spring of 2001. The duo released "Savor Every Second" in January 2003 and eventually went on to be nominated for a Cincinnati Entertainment Award (CEA) for Best Blues 2003. In 2007, the boys released "Time's Right," also to critical acclaim. .. .. Once dubbed "the finest dancing White Boy in all of Boston" by Luther Guitar Junior Johnson, Jonathan's musical roots trace mainly to Knoxville where he played with Defenders of the Faith, the late Sarah Jordan's "Jordan Project," and hosted the regionally famous Sassy Ann's Blue Jam. He also spent several years playing guitar (among other things) in West Africa. .. .. Blake, a native New Yorker, left his classical voice and piano training behind to play Rock and Blues for tipsy dancing babes in late-night smoky clubs. Nice work if you can get it. Along the way Blake has fronted Smokestack Lightning in northern England, Blues Cult in Cincinnati, and various other "hired harp" work along the way, most recently with Ricky Nye, Mary Ann Kindel, Cheryl Renee, and Jon Justice. Blake has also been asked to sit in with Spoon, Noah Sugarman, and Jason Ricci on their visits to Cincinnati .. .. 46 Long promises a good time and a professional attitude. We've spent more than long enough time playing music to have seen too many bands who don't take their work seriously. We guarantee that we will be on time, courteous to all concerned, and play to the best of our ability at every show. Simply put... no B.S. or music egos. .. .. Sure, there are other guitar/harp Blues duos out there, but somewhere since our beginnings in 2001 as an acoustic Blues group, we've become something different. We hope you like it. We may be over-educated middle class white boys, but somewhere along the line we learned to throw down anyway. If you don't believe us, just give us a shot... if we don't deliver, we'll buy you a beer. .. .. Oh, and the name? Put it this way, at 6'3" and 215 lbs, Blake is the little one. .. .. Past and Present Venues include: Arnolds; Southgate House; Paxton's Grill; Mahogany's; East End Cafe; Coco's; Glendale Pub; Jazzmania; Ridge Day Festival; Acoustic Lunch Series at Piatt Park; City BBQ; The Madison Theater; Starbucks; the Pendleton Gallery; and many other highly selective music venues.... .. ..

Blake With Spoon!!!!.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... .. .. ....Press.... .... .. "...their presentation — acoustic guitar, vocals and harmonica, sparse percussion — has a natural, bare vibe that is incredibly magnetic to the ears. Acoustic Blues players may be a dime a dozen, but the strong songcraft and singer/harpist Blake Taylor's unique, masterful playing style (he uses the harmonica as both a rhythm and lead instrument) give them an edge over the competition. " ..- Mike Breen, Citybeat .... "Blake's harp playing is really good in that he has a ton of chops a lot of tone and a great idea when to play acoustic...Blake's got the over blow thing going on articulate bends and a great sense of time and phrasing." .. - Jason Ricci .... "...great harmonica-driven, toe-tapping Blues".. - Rick Bird, Cincinnati Post .. .... "Together, Taylor and Reynolds form a solid, soulful core that packs more passion and heart in a simple "acoustic duo" setting than most full-on Blues outfits.".. ..Mick Breen -- Citybeat.. .... "The part I really liked and surprised me was the songwriting and singing! Fuckin' My Baby's Away" rules lyrically I had to check to see if that was your tune or what, cause that is just so catchy and sophisticated and great feeling.".. - Jason Ricci .... "Great harp playing; dark, delightful storytelling, and intricate guitar work... Taylor's rich baritone vocals are nicely complimented with Reynolds' more twangy, rugged singing.".. ..Rick Bird -- Cincinnati Post.. .. .. "Reynolds and Taylor have found a very natural partnership in 46 Long, creating a unique groove to call their own. Trading vocals and effortlessly weaving together guitar and harmonica, they imbue their perfomances with passion and craftsmanship.".. ..Tara O'Donnell -- Cincymusic.com.. .. .... ..Who doesn't love mounds and mounds of shredded cheddar??......46Long for Gold Star Chili..
