A couple years ago, we released a recording with Taylor Ashton, when he was traveling through Nashville for work ( • Taylor Ashton, "F.L.Y.... ). As a banjo player myself, I love seeing the instrument played in unique ways. Not "strum it like a guitar" unique, and definitely not "banjitar" unique. Someone who can take the classical techniques and pour them into a new mold, something contemporary, with inspiration springing from more than one field. Taylor does that, and is thus one of my favorite banjo playing songwriters around. He has the chops - he can play clawhammer as good as anyone i've had the pleasure of meeting, and sing like an angel. He chooses to be different with it, and I respect that, am inspired by it.
I can't recommend his split album with Courtney Hartman enough. If you like banjo music, you should listen to it. ( • Courtney Hartman & Tay... ).
You can find Taylor on Spotify at open.spotify.com/artist/53t38... and follow him on Instagram at @taylrashtn.

I love his voice, so soothing. Enjoyed this and had to give F.L.Y. another spin as well. Chords and lyrics below. This is for guitar, but banjo should be the same. I think his banjo is tuned in Open D and Capo'd on 2 here, but not 100% sure. Now, there's a variety of ways to play this one. On one live video, you can see him playing it in Drop D tuning and walking down the string with a bass note. This tab is noted in standard tuning tuning though. For the verses, just do a little bass walk while maintaining to play the D chord with index and middle finger. Intro D D/C# D/B D/A D/G D/F# D/E Pre-Chorus G A Chorus D / D Em G / D / D Em G (+ Em A in 2nd chorus) Interlude D D/C# D/B D/A D/G D/F# D/E Interlude 2 As Interlude 1 x2, then D D/C# D/C D/B D/Bb D/A D Ends on Em G [Intro] [Verse 1] Every night you and I talk it out in my dreams I wonder what that's supposed to signify It isn't hard to find the words to finally say what I mean But I am wake and like a spooked flock they fly [Pre-Chorus] But maybe I send them to your sky [Chorus] If you can hear me give me a sign Cause there's a receiver in your heart of mine If you got a problem, that's what I'm here for Wrap yourself up in my arms of yours [Interlude] [Verse 2] By the stripes of your light coming in through the blinds Don't our bodies look like waves in the night Isn't there a disconnect between our mouths and our minds A thousand things that we'd like to say but still can't quite [Pre-Chorus] I just wanna tell you it's alright [Chorus] If you can hear me give me a sign Cause there's a receiver in your heart of mine If you got a problem, that's what I'm here for Wrap yourself up in my arms of yours So if you can hear me, give me a sign [Interlude] [Chorus] If you can hear me give me a sign Cause there's a receiver in your heart of mine If you got a problem, that's what I'm here for Wrap yourself up in my arms of yours If you can hear me give me a sign Cause there's a receiver in your heart of mine If you got a problem, that's what I'm here for Wrap yourself up in my arms of yours
