Their dads are brothers, but Thomas and Taylor Turner are so much more than cousins. They are deeply connected friends. It shows through the layers of their music. There’s the friendship of their dads, their voices, guitars, and even the simple friendship of lyrics and music. “We’ve always clicked in our personalities and interests at a level not typical,” Taylor says. “Growing up, our main influences were our dads. We would sit down with our guitars and teach each other what our dads had taught us.” Today, they not only play but compose. They write what they love to hear – harmony, sing-able melodies, tightly woven guitar sounds, and thought-provoking words. Thomas says, “We don’t write songs, we discover them. We find our material in everyday life and in feelings that people may not take time to think about.” “We want something you can dance and sing to, but at the same time makes you think about your life,” Taylor explains. Thomas adds, “When people listen, we want them to experience, “Hey, that’s what I feel, but I didn’t know how to put it into words.” Thomas and Taylor’s music appeals to a wide audience. Their CD is honest, smooth, and pleasant to the ear. They only record what they can also reproduce live with two acoustic guitars, their voices, and various creative effects. “We just want to convey who we are as cousins and as friends,” Taylor says.
