Tonight singer/songwriter Ben Taylor and his band will be performing at The Soapbox Laundrolounge in Wilmington, and on Wednesday it's a special concert for his grandmother at the The Arts Center in Carrboro. Both concerts are open to the public.
Ben released his new album August 14th, 2012. It's called Listening and it covers a lot of musical ground including pop, rock, and folk elements as well as adult contemporary and country music. The Examiner.com writes, “It is safe to say that Ben's parents, acclaimed veteran musicians James Taylor and Carly Simon, are not the only talented ones in his family. Ben's singing and songwriting ability are also distinct and worthy of praise.”
Ben stopped by WFDD yesterday with band mates David Saw on guitar, and percussionist Mark Puzey on Cajon. Sound engineer Ryan Casey set up the recording session taped Live in studio A.
