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.

Jazz singer Gregory Porter (pictured here at the Syracuse Jazz Fest) gave a genre-bending performance that nearly parted the waters at Jamesville Beach. Easily the best performance we saw in 2012.
Flute player Wouter Kellerman made his Syracuse debut and ended up dancing and playing up a storm at the Northeast Jazz & Wine Festival.
Mike Houston and Anjela Lynn brought their soulful show to the Hill and easily became the most popular group to play the Sitrus Lounge in 2012.
Rick Ross played the Rock the Dome show and showed why he’s considered a boss.
Nothing but strings: The McGriff brothers may be Syracuse’s best kept classic secret. They are pictured here as part of the Connective Corridor’s In Motion Series from the Spring playing a mini Hip Hop symphony.
World Be Free almost rhymed the Syracuse Orangemen into the Final Four.
Sax on Stage: Jessy J kept it hot as the headliner for the Northeast Jazz & Wine Festival.
Guitarist Edgar Pagan helped organize the Sandy Relief Concert at the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que.
Bill Horrace and his band took their show on the road and played a few gigs on the 443 Connective Corridor Bus.

Chris Taylor, singer
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.

Chris Taylor and the Custom Taylor Band
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.
