Hiss Golden Messenger: Folk Musician in New York

About Hiss Golden Messenger

Hiss Golden Messenger is the long-running folk and country project led by Durham, North Carolina songwriter and vocalist MC Taylor, active since 2007. Built as an individual-led ensemble, the music tends to center on plainspoken narratives and steady, groove-minded arrangements rather than studio gloss. On the I’m People Tour, Taylor brings that approach to Irving Plaza, placing the songs in a New York City room better known for rock lineups. The performances favor clarity over spectacle.
