 Greg "Fingers" Taylor, is considered by many musicians to be one of the best harp players around. "I wanted an instrument I could scream on, and I loved the blues harmonica players like Little Walter and Sonny Boy Williamson," said Taylor. Among his early influences were Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, Eric Clapton, Muddy Waters, but he especially loved to emulate the sounds of Little Walter Jacobs.
To music lovers worldwide, the names Jimmy Buffett and "Fingers" Taylor go hand in hand. Jimmy and Fingers met in 1970 when Taylor, a student at The University of Southern Mississippi, first jammed with him. In 1974, Jimmy called him when
he was ready to form the original Coral Reefer Band. In addition to his many solo appearances, Greg performs on occasion with other notable musicians, including Jimmy Buffett, Hugo Duarte
and others.
