Singer-songwriter Ben Taylor can certainly boast an impressive musical heritage; he is the son of famous US artists James Taylor and Carly Simon. After three full-length albums and a couple intermittent EPs, singer/songwriter has finally hit his own musical stride, with each project taking him one step closer to his natural artistic identity.”The Legend of Kung Folk, Part I (The Killing Bite),” a long-winded but appropriate title for the work, melds Taylor’s inherent folk capabilities with a taste of funk that’s perfectly fitting. The lanky, reflective musician describes the album’s moniker as an introduction to “folk with a kick,” a natural transition following 2005’s “Another Run Around the Sun,” a more bare bones, traditional take on the folk genre. Opening act, Schuyler Fisk is the daughter of Sissy Spacek and has been influenced by the music of bonnie raitt, the Beatles, the allman brothers and patsy cline. Schuyler Fisk grew up in a small town in Virginia and moved out to LA when she was 17. Although she originally relocated to pursue acting, it wasn’t long before she put her budding acting career on the back burner to focus on writing and performing music and seeing where she ended up. Where she ended up, was falling fast into the singer/songwriter scene at Los Angeles’ own Hotel Cafe.
