Taylor Shaffer

Taylor Shaffer, a seasoned photographer renowned for his work with National Geographic, ventured into the music scene with his debut album, Darlin' Years, released on November 5, 2024. The album comprises eight tracks that reflect his deep connection to storytelling, a skill honed through years of capturing compelling visuals. Taylor is a folk and country musician based in Truckee, California. He grew up playing music with his brother, but it wasn’t until about a year ago in 2024 that he started writing songs and recording them. For the past five years, he has worked as a photographer for mostly in the outdoor world. Taylor's songs come from the same place—simple, honest, and shaped by time spent in wild, quiet places.
