Taylor Sheridan brings us directly into his world, where farm life, fatherhood, and music converge to create something uniquely authentic. Growing up on his father's mobile animal farm in Victoria's Macedon Ranges taught Taylor responsibility and connection from an early age – lessons that now infuse his songwriting with genuine emotion and purpose.
What makes Taylor's musical journey fascinating is how organically he found his way to country music. Unlike artists born into the genre, Taylor first fell in love with the soul stylings of Stevie Wonder before gradually discovering that his natural storytelling abilities aligned perfectly with country traditions. "I just write music that I like," he explains, revealing how his approach transcends genre limitations while honoring the storytelling heart of country music.
The conversation turns deeply personal as Taylor shares the inspiration behind his new single "Stories," written at a pivotal moment in his life. With fatherhood transforming his perspective and a national tour with Jimmy Barnes on the horizon, Taylor finds himself looking forward rather than backward for the first time. "Now having a daughter, it's the first time in my life where I've been looking forward to what's to come," he reveals, describing how this shift influences his creative process.

His five years touring with Taxiride provided an education in connecting with audiences through music that serves others rather than ego – experience that continues to shape his authentic performance style.
Whether discussing his ambassadorship for youth mental health through the Life Changer Foundation or reflecting on the Michael Jackson performance that changed his life trajectory at age eleven, Taylor embodies an artist committed to genuine expression and meaningful connection.

Join us for this intimate conversation with one of Australia's most thoughtful country voices as he prepares to share stages with Jimmy Barnes while navigating the beautiful chaos of new parenthood.
