Ben Taylor (musician)

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." Ultimately deciding that this path (which yielded music that Taylor describes as "neo-psychodelic folk funk") did not represent his true musical nature, Taylor released a follow-up solo album that is much more acoustic in nature and more in line with his family roots. That solo effort, "Another Run Around the Sun", featured background vocals by his sister and mother, drumming by Larry Ciancia (of The Ben Taylor Band), and bass guitar by Kevin Bacon (not the actor) who also produced.

Acting

Taylor's most recent role was that of Cal Cooper on "American Dreams" (2004). He has also appeared on the UK show "Always and Everyone" (1999).

Charitable work

Taylor appears on the CD "Too Many Years" contributing the original track "Listen to The Music" to benefit Clear Path International's work with land mine survivors.
