Reno, NV – April 24, 2026 – Kyle-Matthew Taylor writes Americana songs rooted in earnest storytelling and the grit and grace of lived experience. His sound pulls from the quiet growl of Gillian Welch, the wry storytelling of John Prine, and the alt-rock sway of Wilco and Drive-By Truckers.

After spending a decade in the Texas Hill Country—where he fronted indie-rock group The Canvas People and sharpened his voice as a songwriter—he relocated to Nevada in 2021. His songs carry the fingerprints of his northeastern roots, his years in Austin’s creative orbit, and the lived-in honesty he brings to every lyric.

Taylor’s debut single “Runs Clean” bops along like a lullaby, with a stream-of-consciousness style vocal delivery and sultry slide guitar riffs to boot. The song captures the minutiae of Taylor’s suburban upbringing, exploring the confounding assortment of memories that we all collect for reasons we often don’t understand.
