Monica Taylor, who was raised near Perkins, OK,is affectionately called a “Red Dirt Farm Girl.” She has played with well-known Red Dirt musicians such as Bob Childers, Tom Skinner, Jimmy Lafave – and the Red Dirt Rangers.
Monica’s vocals are often compared to Emmylou Harris and she readily admits Harris has been a great influence. Her earthy “red dirt roots” are reflected in her songs.
“Riding home on the school bus, how I’d search the road ahead
for two dogs by a mailbox, that had letters painted red.
Then I’d grab my books and say goodbye… and I’d step down on the ground
then we’d all three walk together, there ain’t no better life I’ve found.” – from Monica’s song The Front Porch Light
Songstress and musical storyteller, Monica Taylor is one you definitely won’t want to miss as she joins John Cooper at the Cushing Country Club!
