Ben Taylor (born Benjamin Simon Taylor on January 22, 1977) is a musician and actor. He is the son of James Taylor and Carly Simon. His sister, Sally Taylor, is also a musician.
On his first released album Famous Among the Barns and his EP #1, Taylor collaborated with friends Adam MacDougall and Larry Ciancia to form The Ben Taylor Band. However, ultimately deciding that this path (which yielded music that Taylor describes as “neo-psychodelic folk funk”) was not his true musical nature, Taylor released a follow-up album by himself that is much more acoustic in nature and more in line with his family roots. That solo effort, Another Run Around the Sun, features background vocals by his sister and mother, and still features drummer-friend Larry Ciancia, and well as Kevin Bacon on bass guitar, and producer.

I love Ben Taylor's music....The man is a genius and doesn't need a band or anything other than his guitar and voice to create incredible songs. Check out http://www.last.fm/music/Matthew+Gair

The show at the Tabernacle in Oak Bluffs this weekend was amazing - small venue, diverse but appreciative crowd, the powerful combination of Ben and Meridith Sheldon's voices - not to mention the two visits to the stage by Carly Simon. And each the songs was performed in a way unique from the recordings I own... it's one to remember. Thanks, Ben!
