Coastal Jazz Association
Taylor Roberts
Presents
I or March,
the Coastal
Jazz Associ
ation is excited to present
a concert by Taylor Roberts
to be held on Sunday, March
19th at 5 p.m. at the Westin
Savannah Harbor Golf Re
sort & Spa on Hutchinson
Island. Roberts will present
a solo set and a trio set, add
ing Billy Hoffman on drums
and Mitch Hennes on bass.
Bom and raised in
Gainesville, Florida, Taylor
found himself in an ideal
location for nurturing his
musical career. Since the
age of four, music has been
the most important thing in
Roberts’ life, for it was then
that he met and fell in love
with the piano. The mysteri
ous instrument produced the
most amazing sounds with
the simple press of a key.
Though he had been on the
planet for a mere four years,
his young heart knew that
he simply had to master this
instrument, and so it was
quickly arranged for him to
study privately with a teach
er at home.
After nine years
of lessons and picking out
songs from records to play
on the piano, at the age of
thirteen he got his first gui
tar.
