KATE TAYLOR lives year round on Martha’s Vineyard, an island off the coast of Massachusetts. She was raised in Chapel Hill, NC. Her brothers Alex, James, Livingston, and Hugh are also songwriters and performers. Fifty years ago she recorded her first album, “Sister Kate,” in 1971 with Peter Asher. "Now, decades after she traded rock stardom for life in a teepee, Kate Taylor is back!"-David Browne, Rolling Stone

"Fifty years later I was doing some shows with Peter, and I’d watched Peter from afar making all these iconic albums and getting all these Grammys, and he was sort of a member of the family because he managed and produced James for twenty years, so I saw him a lot and we were very friendly, but I hadn’t recorded or done anything with him. I started to do some shows with him, and we realised it was the fiftieth anniversary coming up of our recording together. So, we started on this route, and it was the middle of COVID, and Peter was ensconced in LA, and most of the players from the first album were off the road and in LA. I flew out there and we started this album, and we got it done and it is called ‘Why Wait!’." - KATE TAYLOR: Interview with Martin Johnson, Americana UK
