The Dead and Down (Live Music)

This band envelopes the introspective and often heavy songwriting of Taylor Burlage in a blanket of sound descended from southern rock, and psychedelia. The dead & down will take you on a journey; moments of cosmic flare and pure, unadulterated rock and roll balanced with a western feel. Imagine if Keith Richards and John Prine were in pink Floyd and you might find a starting point for what they sound like.

Formerly known as Not James Taylor, the Dead & Down was started as a duo project between songwriter Taylor Burlage and guitarist James Burne. After a year of gigging they amassed a solid local following in their hometown of Bozeman, Montana. Through a series of chance mishaps and lucky breaks they added Josh Higginbottom on drums, Matt Angelo on keys, and Dave Efries on bass to create a truly Montanan sound that reflects their eclectic backgrounds.
