Glenn Taylor grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. Inspired by hippie-country bands like the Grateful Dead and the New Riders of the Purple Sage, he bought his first pedal steel guitar in 1975 and took some lessons from Joe Goldmark in West Oakland.

After moving to Colorado in 1980, he started gigging with country rock bands  during the Urban Cowboy boom. He also started branching out into other musical genres: jazz, African pop, and free improv. 

Bands included The Boulder Creative Music Ensemble, Orchestra King Mama, Slim Cessna’s Auto Club, Ron Miles Group, Monkey Siren, The Railbenders, Matt Skellenger

Group, and Bonnie and the Clydes. Lately he's been playing with the hard rocking country band Ryan Chrys and the Roughcuts.

He designed and built a pedal steel guitar in 1989, and since then he’s built 17. Pedal steel building and selling never took off, but he designed a small volume pedal several years ago. He’s been selling them mostly on the internet, and so far

he’s built about 1800 of his Moyo brand volume pedals.

Many years and many bands later he’s still playing his own pedal steel guitars. He

still enjoys jumping into atypical musical projects and playing shows, always remembering that pedal is an instrument, not a genre.
