  • Rough Draft Bar & Books 82 John Street Kingston, NY, 12401 United States (map)

SEAN KIELY is a folk musician, mostly acoustic but sometimes not, from Jersey City, NJ. His most recent record "Postcards of the Reckoning" was named one of the top 10 albums of 2024 by NJ.com and debuted at #15 on the FAI Folk Chart.

 

Kiely's lyrics "summon epiphanies and moments of clarity in the middle of storms" and his music chases beauty to unexpected yet inevitable conclusions. Kiely recently opened for the legendary Richard Thompson at a sold-out White Eagle Hall in Jersey City, and performed live in-studio at WFUV. Last year his music was recognized by the Jersey City Arts Council and NERFA. No Depression wrote that his debut album "Your Logo, My Logo is one of those sublime and unassuming efforts that sneaks up on you until you find it won’t let go."

 

JEFF TAYLOR released his debut solo LP, 'A Deeper Kind,' in early 2022.

 

2024 saw Taylor’s new project ‘Farmer’ release a debut album featuring Dave Matthews on multiple songs. Co-written and produced by Farmer bandmate Geoff Stanfield, the group’s second release is nearing completion. In 2020 Taylor was handpicked by MacArthur fellow Chris Thile to join the debut cast of an original musical. Oscar and Tony-winning choreographer Justin Peck directed. In the same year, Taylor made his acting debut in AppleTV+/Bad Robot’s ‘Little Voice,’ a drama series produced by Sara Bareilles and JJ Abrams. 2017-2019: Taylor co-wrote/recorded with Donny McCaslin Group - David Bowie's "Blackstar" band- fronting a quintet for an extensive world tour.
