All-star artist lineup to perform on Taylor Stage at NAMM

Ahead of the 2012 NAMM Winter convention in Anaheim, California, Taylor Guitars has assembled an all-star artist lineup to perform over three days of the show on Taylor's performance stage starting each day at 3:30 p.m.
Kicking things off on Thursday is the Wayne Johnson Trio, led by longtime Taylor product expert and Grammy winner, Wayne Johnson. The jazzy trio has been playing and recording together since the late '70s. Next up will be Nashville-based country rock and rollers Sixwire, who received national acclaim as the runner-up on the FOX reality TV show The Next Great American Band. Comprised of Andy Childs, Steve Mandile, Robb Houston, John Howard and Chuck Tilley, the band is a perennial favorite for their rock medley, "The Beast." This year marks their fourth appearance on the Taylor stage at NAMM.
On Friday, San Diego-based rising act The Silent Comedy will bring their old-timey meets alternative rock sound to the Taylor stage. Led by brothers Joshua and Jeremiah Zimmerman, the band has gained national attention through tour dates with Dave Matthews over the past year. The group will be followed by Grammy-nominated musician and producer David Mayfield and his band, the David Mayfield Parade. The alt-country/bluegrass act has performed at some of the country's biggest music festivals, including Bonnaroo and Merlefest.
Saturday starts with John Rzeznik, singer, songwriter, and guitarist for the hit pop group the Goo Goo Dolls. He will join Taylor's all-star lineup of artist performances at Taylor's NAMM showcase at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 21.
The acoustic/pop sounds of Javier Colon will follow at 3:30 p.m. Colon rose to fame in 2011, winning the inaugural season of NBC's The Voice and capturing the admiration of fans across the nation. Colon will play songs from his original recordings, including his recently released album Come Through for You. Closing out the show will be worship leader, recording artist, producer and 2011 Grammy winner Israel Houghton with his band, The New Breed. Mixing contemporary blues with rock, pop and soulful gospel, the group gave a memorable performance on the Taylor stage in 2011.
