WRITING KEVIN TAYLOR is a 3-actor rom-com musical that you ought to know about. So I interviewed composer-lyricist Will Van Dyke (@WVDmusic) and librettist Josh Halloway. Check it out. https://t.co/hNO9z1uvHF

Very excited for “Writing Kevin Taylor” to be making its Michigan debut at @MBTheatre in Feb with a new orchestration! @josh_halloway and I started this show in college and it has followed us all these years. If you’re in MI 2.9.22-3.6.22 be sure to check out this awesome group.

“Forks Don’t Break,” a new EP of songs by @WVDmusic and @JeffTalbott, gets released today. It’s a clutch of infectious new pop songs. Get it wherever you find your music. Here’s a sample: Will Van Dyke - “I'll Hear Your Voice Again” (Official Lyric Video) https://t.co/bKxP7wnqBW

[Will Van Dyke @WVDmusic]

"I'll Hear Your Voice Again" completes the two EP journey of "The Mayor," and "Forks Don't Break." It is one of my favorite things @JeffTalbott and I have ever done. It's a song about loss and hope, and a reminder to connect. #forksdontbreak

[Will Van Dyke @WVDmusic]

"You and Me and Everyone Else" is a response to all of the isolation and divisiveness 2020 offered. @JeffTalbott and I needed to air our frustration, anger, and loneliness, so we wrote a song. #forksdontbreak

[Will Van Dyke @WVDmusic]

"Shadow" is a love song about not only finding strength in a partner, but finding strength in yourself. Not being scared of your own shadow and what makes you tick gives you the strength to love and be loved. #forksdontbreak

[Will Van Dyke @WVDmusic]

One day, @JeffTalbott sent me “Candy Stand”. For some reason I felt like it should sound like a long lost Queen song. It's a true story about the importance of always packing a snack. #forksdontbreak

[Will Van Dyke @WVDmusic]

"Last Fall" started as a simple piano riff, but turned into one of my favorite things on the new EP. Getting to collaborate with @AnnSophie (who I met in Hamburg a few years ago) was such a gift. #forksdontbreak

[Will Van Dyke @WVDmusic]

"Forks Don't Break" came out of a phone call with @JeffTalbott when I dropped my fork on the floor and Jeff said, "forks don't break." I retorted, that's a good title for a song. Find yourself someone who will go down any creative path with you. #forksdontbreak

[Will Van Dyke @WVDmusic]

627 days since I have had the honor of conducting @littleshopnyc but tonight that changes. Those days were filled with some joy, some serious sadness, but mostly the hope and drive to keep going. Please get vaccinated, please see live theatre, so many artists have been waiting.

[Will Van Dyke @WVDmusic]

It’s @Jay_A_Johnson’s birthday! New show tonight @54Below. New music you can stream at the link in my bio.

[Kenneth Jones @ByKennethJones]

A new single by @JeffTalbott and @WVDmusic? Yes, please. “Last Fall” featuring @AnnSophie and Will drops today! It’s from a forthcoming new EP from composer Van Dyke, surfacing Oct. 22. https://t.co/l2b8rE4lse

[Will Van Dyke @WVDmusic]

A couple of years ago I had the pleasure of meeting @AnnSophie in Hamburg, while I was working on @PrettyWoman there. Her voice and talent are incredible, and am so grateful to share this track I wrote with @JeffTalbott that we collaborated on. https://t.co/gKBxSRV0hL

One week from tonight!

[Will Van Dyke @WVDmusic]

Today is the day “The Mayor” is available everywhere. Please check it out however you listen to music, @jefftalbott and I are VERY excited about it. The title track of the album is also the last one and it’s about the family you find along the way and kindness. Get into it 🤘🏼

[Will Van Dyke @WVDmusic]

I am so excited for everyone to hear “Wasting Time” TOMORROW(!!) and to finally sing with the one and only @tamikalawrence (we met over a decade ago doing RENT off-Broadway). This is a song about cherishing the folks you love. Honored for Tamika to be on EP. #themayor 6.25.21
