Hoping Stephen can pass this along to him from the group!

Hey Taylor-All of us at NESP would like to say a resounding "Thank You" for all of the wonderful shows last week   I'll let the members express their favorite moments, but I speak for all of us when I say you were AMAZING   The band rocked, and the crew was friendly and fun. As you can imagine we are totally looking forward to Friday (and none of us seem to be able to work this week )

Thank you for your generosity in sharing your time with us for the Meet & Greets - many musicians do not do this, and we want you to know how much we appreciate it that you do.   Some of us had never met you before so it was extra special You're probably sick of cameras and sharpies along about now...

The energy in the room at Portland was unbelievable! There were a few moments when I thought your Soul Patrol was going to spontaneously combust   Maybe you should purchase some fire extinguishers for future shows-I think you're going to need them.

I've been dying to hear Supertramp-it was AWESOME! Into the Mystic-nice tease! I love how you put a new spin on your music each time - it just gets better and better. You're really getting the
crowd going too-it was great to see everyone dancing and hear all the wolf whistles and screaming

If you're taking any requests...I think Sweet Home Alabama would bring down the house-always a crowd pleaser, but with your Taylorizing it would be crazy good. I'd love to hear Places I've Been -
think the whole room would be singing along

YES a huge thanks for playin your asses off which is why I'll keep standin no matter how many times I get told to sit I have soooo many favorite moments and wish I was there for 'Into the Mystic' my all time fav. Cant wait to see you all again in NH!

Awwwww....did you take that pic?? How sweet...BFFs!

THANK YOU SO MUCH TAYLOR AND CREW for a great concert experience!

For the fourth time this year, I have seen two of your shows within at least a day of one another.  The first being in March in Myrtle Beach, SC and then 2 nights later, Asheville, NC.  The second set of shows brought me to Boston, MA in April and then 2 nights later, Hampton Beach, NH.  The third set of shows took me out to Cohasset, MA in June and then the following night in Hyannis, MA.  This past weekend lead me to Lincoln, RI and the next night in Portland, ME (my home state, finally!).  Now I don't want to brag, but the crowd at the Merrill Auditorium in Portland seemed to be one of the better crowds that I've seen at some of the 'stuffier' venues.  When you said 'Portland, Maine gettin' funky now!', you weren't kidding!  I was so completely blown away by the crowd and I could tell that you were just feeding off it.  Thank you for bringing your blue-eyed soul music to the coast of Maine and showing many first time concert-goers the excitement of your shows.

The stool was definitely a labor of love.  Much discussion was bantered about before it was finalized.  I hope that you enjoy it and use it to share your beautiful voice with as many people as you can.  I hope that we may finally get that acoustic performance we've been longing for in Concord on Friday night.  (And perhaps you might wear that absolutely adorable Fugly shirt that the NESP purchased for you...it would be the perfect end to a perfect week.)

I hope you're enjoying your few days off before Poughkeepsie Thursday night.  I'm looking forward to Friday immensely and will see you at my meet & greet and then later at the show.  I've been practicing for my solo!

Hi Taylor..  I'm still coming down off the excitement of Saturday and Sunday nights.   That was some party at the Merrill Auditorium.   We like to get down and funky in Northern New England, don't we?    If you need us to instigate the folks in Concord to get up and shake some tail feathers, just give us the sign.  

I sure did love that Lowdown -- reminded me of raw silk, smooth and shiny but nice and rough at the edges.   You can put that one in the set list, as far as I'm concerned.   I'm also very happy that Don't Let Me Down is back in the set list..  you may remember you played that song for the first time in New Hampshire, which was the high point of THAT show

I'm the local girl in Concord, so if anyone in the band or crew needs provisions, or wants to know where to get awesome Margaritas, just ask.   I hope your travels are safe and that your show in NY goes well -- can't wait to see you in my home city on Friday night with your good shoes on.

I would like to thank Taylor and his band members for blowing the roof off the Warner Theatre,it was the most fabulous concert I have ever been to.We are still on a natural high and are eagerly waiting for the next concert in CT. Thanks for so graciously signing our books and photos,it was truly appreciated! Until the next time all the wonderful videos will hold us over!

Thank you Taylor for being so nice at my first meet & greet (you might recall we talked about golf). The show was amazing, it was the best out of the six that I have been too. The acoustics in the place were great, and really showcased your amazing voice. And I think it is wonderful that Brian is being showcased more, I remember when we saw him in April he would hide in the shadows most of the night. Now he is front stage and center, and his talent surely warrants this position.

Can't wait to see you again in Concord on Friday. Please, please, please do an acoustic song (yes, I am begging here). Don't worry about it bringing the energy down, we will be up and dancing at the drop of a hat!

Bumping this up for further posts!!!

Great time had by all this past week-you've made it a special summer
for NESP Taylor. We loved the Concord show, and especially want to thank you for coming out a second time after the show to sign
things and chat with everyone. That was above and beyond and it
meant so much to all of us. We loved your mention of NESP
at Portland-that was too cool   


As for your Dan Fogelberg song....  So awesome!!

You were so good, as a matter a fact, that Amy and Andrea made
an unscheduled trip to Staten Island , and more of us have
decided that we can't miss Bethel Woods

Last but not least-thanks for the blog! You got us all teary-eyed but
it was wonderful to be called part of your New England family
