“Taylor Caspersen’s self-titled effort is the sort of thing that many bands wish they could pull off and he makes it seem so easy when it is anything but.”
Taylor Caspersen, a Vancouver Island-born polymath, lives and breathes music, finding every day an opportunity to create art. With over 10 years of experience as a full-time songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer at the age of 27, his journey as a musical virtuoso has been nothing short of inspiring.

Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of influences, he skillfully crafts a fresh and authentic sound that boldly defies genre boundaries. From his signature baritenor vocals to the hauntingly introspective tracks and energizing anthems, "Cabin Fever" is a profound reflection of his artistic journey and relentless pursuit of creative expression. This album promises to leave a lasting impact, solidifying Taylor Caspersen as an exceptional Canadian talent and trailblazer in the alternative genre, inviting listeners to join him on an unforgettable journey of sound and emotion.
"Once in a while a young musician comes along who stands out from the pack. And I'm not referring to the way many artists believe they stand out, which is because their music is "honest" and "real." Of course it is. Everyone's music is honest and real to them. The stand-out factor I'm referring to is that intangible "it" factor you can't quite put your finger on, but you know it's there in so many aspects of what the artist does. 20 year old Taylor Caspersen has it."

“To say that Taylor has a passion for creating music is an understatement. He lives and breathes melody and its creation oozes from every pore. Ask him to pick up any instrument and we bet he can play it. Request he write a song and its words and tune flows freely from his heart. This young man is for real and people are starting to take notice”

“Stylistically Taylor Caspersen draws from so many different traditions, with emphasis on country, folk, and the blues coming together in the greatest of ease. By choosing such a glorious swirl, Caspersen further emphasizes his poetic narratives that drive the entirety of the album forward. Right in the very center of it all is Taylor’s expressive, energetic vocals that tie the whole thing together.”
