Watch Hiss Golden Messenger’s M.C. Taylor Strip Down ‘Jump For Joy’ Songs At Raleigh Radio Station

Hiss Golden Messenger’s M.C. Taylor recently stopped by Raleigh, North Carolina’s 95.7 That Station for an in-studio live performance. The solo acoustic set featured a pair of songs off the recently released Hiss album, Jump For Joy.

Released last month, Jump For Joy was recorded by Taylor and his bandmates – guitarist Chris Boerner, bassist Alex Bingham, keyboardist Sam Fribush and drummer Nick Falk — at Sonic Ranch studio in Tornillo, Texas over two weeks late last fall. Taylor produced the album with longtime collaborator Scott Hirsch engineering.

Hiss Golden Messenger will play a few shows this month before setting out on an extensive fall tour in October. The run continues across the United States throughout November and into December.

Taylor, who has lived in nearby Durham, North Carolina since 2007, performed solo acoustic guitar versions of the Jump For Joy lead single, “Nu-Grape,” and subsequent single, “The Wondering.” Watch the pair of performances at That Station, as well as an interview with Taylor below:
