This weekend I was fortunate enough to see Ben Taylor (son of James Taylor and Carly Simon) perform live at The Cutting Room with his mom and David Saw. While musically a modern-day clone of his dad, Ben’s hilariously honest songwriting sets him apart from others in his guys-with-acoustic-guitars genre. His song “Wicked Way” had people cracking up.

Carly’s performance was her first in 2 years. Although she’s known for suffering from stage fright, this was not apparent at all during her Saturday performance where she really let loose and sang her heart out (or “had a few emo moments” as some said). Despite not playing her popular hit “You’re So Vain” her performance was great - also, she looked ridiculously phenomenal for being 62.

David Saw was also awesome. His subtly named song “Buy My Record” was a crowd favorite and is definitely worth checking out.

Catch Ben Taylor and David Saw play again at the Cutting Room on Valentines Day at 10pm. I leave you with some Ben Taylor goodness:
