}}Benjamin Simon "Ben" Taylor (born January 22, 1977) is an American musician and actor. He is the son of singer-songwriters James Taylor and Carly Simon.[1]

Career

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-psychedelic 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 backing vocals by his sister and mother, with Taylor as vocalist and guitarist, Peter Calo on guitars, Larry Ciancia on drums, and bass guitar by Kevin Bacon who also produced the album.

In 2012 Ben Taylor released the album Listening in the United States on Iris Records. In 2013, the album was released as a European version on V2 records.

In 2013, Taylor toured in Europe (Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands and UK). In 2014 he returned to Germany for a 10-date tour presented by artist.people.promotion including stops in Berlin, Kiel, Hamburg, Bremen, Magdeburg, Cologne, Frankfurt, Duisburg, Heidelberg, Munich. He then toured in March and April through the United States. He was accompanied by British singer Sophie Hiller.[2]

In 2016, Taylor's cover version of "Love Me Tender" was used for a TV-ad for a new fragrance by Ralph Lauren "Tender Romance".

Taylor released on December 2, 2016, the Christmas EP Christmas Is Family with four new recordings. The record was released by the German record label Birdstone Records on limited CDs and digitally worldwide. The EP was produced by Taylor, Manfred Faust, and Nic v. Vogelstein.[2][3]

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).

Taylor's cover of Macy Gray's "I Try" was used in a Honey Nut Cheerios television commercial in Canada aired late 2008, early 2009.

Taylor recently appeared as himself on the ABC Family Reality summer hit, The Vineyard (2013)

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.

Personal and early life

Taylor attended high school at Tabor Academy, a college preparatory boarding school in Marion, Massachusetts.

Taylor has been training in martial arts since he was a teenager. According to the December 2008 issue of Black Belt Magazine, Taylor has trained extensively in qigong, t'ai chi ch'uan, wing chun kung fu, and recently Brazilian jiu-jitsu under Renzo Gracie.{{citation needed|date=June 2013}}

Taylor's sister, Sally Taylor, is also a musician and they have frequently worked together.
