With a desire to open the mind of the modern music scene, Watkins brings flavors of Classic Pop and Alternative Rock into the world with an experimental twist. Their folk-rock and indie influence comes across in the dynamics of the music.  Lead Singer, Taylor Watkins, has created a grassroots following across the country, known for his new age guitar picking and unique vocal performance.  The band brings love and energy to the stage and always leaves the crowd with a deeper sense of community.  The love for traveling and psychedelic spirituality shines through in the lyrics and keeps the band motivated to spread their message.

Maps Need Reading is a four-piece art rock band based in Knoxville, Tennessee. The band fuses elements of jazz, indie, and post rock, creating a hybrid sound that equally satisfies the tastes of both progressive rock and pop fans alike. 

Guitarist David Webb, bassist Nathan Patterson, and guitarist/keyboardist Chris Burgess formed The Renaissants during their high school years, creating nifty indie pop music that slowly drifted toward more odd time signatures and dynamic arrangements. The three musicians formed Maps Need Reading in 2011 by adding drummer Jordan Sexton, whose style allowed the band to further develop a more progressive, post-rock-influenced sound. In 2014, Sexton left the band and was replaced by childhood friend and University of Tennessee music school companion DJ Young. 

Moving forward with Young, the band has further diversified its sound while continuing to refine the core audible elements that have kept fans coming back—long, dynamic orchestrations that combine deep, dissonant noise and danceable indie pop aesthetics. Each member of the band contributes their own respective influences to the writing process, and that diversity allows for songs that span all across the musical spectrum. The band released its Hopes for Chemistry EP in August, 2015, and has used the positive momentum the album has received to begin pushing their sound outside Knoxville.
