About

Taxicab Preacher (TCP) is a soulful Americana band from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, rooted in the blues, folk, and roots rock traditions of the American South. Since forming, TCP has become one of the Triangle's most active and beloved live acts, performing regularly at venues across Durham, Chapel Hill, Hillsborough, and the greater Piedmont region.

Fronted by the charismatic Hailey "Doc" Brighton, whose voice carries equal parts warmth and grit, the band is rounded out by Patrick "PV" Vernon (guitar, vocals, harmonica), Don Miller (drums, vocals), and Dillon Partin (bass). Together they deliver performances that feel intimate and electric — part honky-tonk, part Sunday revival, all soul.

In fall 2024, Taxicab Preacher released Solid Ground, their debut EP of all-original songs recorded live with guitarist Chris Zagar. Available now on Spotify, Apple Music, and all major streaming platforms.

Whether you're catching them at Pluck Farm, Durham Beer Garden, Nash St. Tavern, or other area venues, a TCP show is the kind of night you tell your friends about the next morning.
