Butch Taylor & the Penetrators” is a Connecticut based group who play a blend of penetrating, funky, blues-rock. Their originals are inspired from the traditional blues of Freddie King and Willie Dixon, the psychedelic sounds of Jimi Hendrix, and Cream, and the deep funk of Sly & the Family Stone and Tower of Power. With the release of their CD, “Don’t Tell Me Nothin’,” Butch Taylor & the Penetrators have been a band in demand.
Butch Taylor is a published songwriter and has played in numerous road and local bands as well as recorded and composed music for videos and film. He has toured and recorded with artists on RCA, Arista, and Epic Records playing with such artists as Vicki Sue Robinson, James Ingram, Denise Williams, Patty Austin, and Debra Cox.
