Ben Taylor's memorable melodies, immaculate acoustic guitar playing and insightful, honest lyrics have been captivating fans since the moment he embarked on this journey.
The son of James Taylor and Carly Simon, music has always played a central role in Ben's life. His acclaimed previous releases comprise his debut album, "Famous Among The Barns," "Another Run Around The Sun," and "The Legend of Kung Folk, Part 1 (The Killing Bite)." Ben puts the kick back into folk music to reveal the humor, wit and skill of a singer-songwriter who's comfortable in both his own skin and with his impressive musical legacy. Taylor seamlessly merges the sounds and styles of rock, pop, folk and hip-hop. His albums often run the gamut from sonically spacious acoustic numbers to layered vocals, beats and unique samples. Highlights from his previous albums include appearances on Good Morning America, The Tonight Show, The CBS Early Show, Last Call with Carson Daly and Howard Stern.
Ben also made his acting debut with a recurring role on NBC's American Dreams and has also appeared in the pages of People Magazine and on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. Ben Taylor has previously toured with Sheryl Crow, Blues Traveler and Ziggy Marleyamong others.
