Will was very knowledgeable and provided very interesting facts about the city. I got to see a side of Austin I didn't think I would. Incredibly talented musicians and a beautiful reminder of what real music sounds like, while inspiring the audience to be present with each other and celebrate the beauty in Austin’s secret gems.” Listening to them while enjoying the surrounding nature gave me chills. “It was a lovely and relaxing experience. Thanks for the perfect way to wind down after a stressful week.” “A wonderful opportunity to explore a unique side of Austin and appreciate it’s beauty. We enjoyed the short hike in the nature and a private concert in the park.” “Wonderful experience! Will and Karen love what they do and it shows.

Also, a chance to network with some area musicians.” A quieter, reflective sidelight on the frenetic Austin tourist experience. “Unique experience connecting both to nature and to music. The only downside to this trip is that whenever I’m hiking now I miss Will and his gang of musicians. We were later joined by another amazing musician/cellist Charles. Along the way Will made sure all of us were taken care of and having a good time. We had a small group and hiked along a trail that was fairly leveled due to one of the hiker’s physical condition. “Will took us on a musical journey in nature that was incredible and therapeutic. “Stellar experience now added to my list of magical moments. It was so lovely! And the concert at the end sounded absolutely beautiful as we laid back in the grass and watched the sunset fade into a starry night sky…” “Amazing evening! One of my favorite nights I’ve had here in Austin (I’ve been here 23 years)! The guided hike was really informative about natural wildlife and the whole time we were surrounded by the sweet sounds of a solo violinist. "Such a quintessential Austin experience! Will & Marc are excellent musicians (and great hikers while playing for us!), and the combination of hiking in the "woods" - the dry Barton Creek bed - with the wooden instruments was completely relaxing and enjoyable. Looking forward to more of these kinds of shows!" Mike Stelfox She fit perfectly with the band and the whole atmosphere you were trying to create. The venue was great (despite the planes overhead), the musicianship was top notch, and thanks so much for introducing me to Alyse Black. I have lived in Austin for over 25 years so really appreciate the "keep it real" culture which artists like Will Taylor continue to foster with creative events like this. "This was my first Strings in the Woods show at Carson Creek Ranch and I have to say it was nothing short of spectacular. I’d highly recommend checking them out." Amy Weiss Not only are you in unique settings but the music is incredible and it’s all a very memorable experience.

"Strings in the Woods is an amazing experience from start to finish. Will and Karen were great guides, knowledgeable and thoughtful, and very talented.” It is a very beautiful park in itself, but even better when you add the wonderful music, in a timeless retreat from now to any point in history with string music, you lose track of time and get closer to nature. “This was a unique and special trip through time and nature, away from the hustle and bustle of automobiles and ever present screen proliferation.

The violin/fiddle was gorgeous and the privacy of the concert was so intimate. “This was an extremely relaxing, meditative way to end a day of exploring Austin. I highly recommend Strings in the Woods for a relaxing evening of great entertainment!" "Great music in a beautiful setting tonight! Loved it! I’m already signed up for two more. "What a wonderful chance for folks to enjoy the outside and hear beautiful music in a great atmosphere without the bar/club scene" Thank you Will Taylor and Bob Livingston." Heading home feeling grounded, relaxed and happy. Will is right! The natural setting, acoustic music and feeling of camaraderie worked their magic. I can't neglect to mention the sunset, cicadas and big beautiful sky. "What a magical evening! A lovely stroll around Mary Moore Searight park, accompanied by Will and his violin, a short beautiful meditation by the water, followed by an intimate concert.
