    Nick Taylor Live @ Lovin' Oven - Burning Man 2019

    Here is part of my set from Camp Lovin' Oven at Burning Man this year. I played after my good friend @dowdenmusic, progressing from melodic to upbeat and groovy. I really felt in my groove, and people were vibing... we had a blast! Lovin' Oven served freshly baked focaccia bread with homemade jam and moroccon mint tea... so damn tasty. People were lounging on the couches, hanging out n chatting, and dancing under the tapestry shade structure. It was a fantastic start to our day! Hope you enjoy :) TRACKLIST 1.
