M.C. Taylor of Hiss Golden Messenger

Hallelujah Anyhow is the new record from Hiss Golden Messenger.  Its 10 songs help shine a light on what M.C. Taylor calls the dark clouds he's designed to see. 

Taylor is a native of California who has called North Carolina home for a decade. He's put down some roots that are based in the music he writes and the people he chooses to play it with. Hiss Golden Messenger plays the Haw River Ballroom this Thursday and Friday.
