For the last four decades David Sheils and Tim Godwin have been writing and performing music
worldwide. When they both ended up making San Diego their home it seemed only right to put
together something very special. Never Die Young was born from two musicians great respect
for one another and their longing to continue to perform in venues across the US. Having been
influenced by the legendary style of James Taylor it made even more sense to create a project
that paid ultimate respect to his music. Godwin has worked with such notable artists as Air
Supply, Laura Brannigan, Shelby Lynne, Farmer, Tanya Tucker and been involved in numerous
television projects and studio house bands. Sheils has worked with wide variety of artists
including Chicago, Toto, Mary Travers, Tower of Power, Billy Vera, Pat Benatar and written
songs for Billy Preston and Freda Payne. Joined by the wonderful vocals of Kylea Sheils and
stellar San Diego musicians Jim Reeves on bass and Larry Grano on drums, Never Die Young
will take you down that Country Road James Taylor wrote about so many years ago and into his
living room with songs like the Secret of Life. A truly heartfelt and authentic interpretation of the
music of James Taylor.
