Chris Taylor (Country in the City)

Chris Taylor on the Delta Stage at The Taste of Syracuse on Saturday night.

Sammy-award winner Chris Taylor, the man with the coolest microphone this side of Paisley Park, brought some country to the city for the Taste of Syracuse on Saturday night (backed by The Custom Taylor Band). What is always amazing is to see a cool brother wearing jeans and a t-shirt, cowboy hat and boots (custom belt buckle too), serve up a country groove that has the crowds eating out of his hands.  Taylor is definitely a local music and fashion icon.

A little bit country

We got the opportunity to interview country singer Chris Taylor at the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que after his Syracuse Sandy Relief Concert set on Sunday. We saw his band perform previously at the Taste of Syracuse in Clinton Square. Taylor was born in Kentucky, has lived in Indiana, but says he found his love for country music while in Potsdam, New York.

See our brief conversation below.

Sunday’s Sandy Benefit Concert, which was held at the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que, quickly became a collaborative community effort featuring local legends, a crowded dance floor and several genres of feel-good music.

I caught the Chris Taylor & CTB show at the Taste of Syracuse last weekend. This was my first time seeing the band and had no idea that Leonard Stephens played with them back in the day.
