Ben Taylor & David Saw have a kind of synergy on stage that reminds one of the great acoustic duos of the past. I’m talking about Loggins & Messina, Seals & Crofts and, to some extent, the Smothers Brothers. Both Ben and David are currently on tour supporting David’s most recent album “Broken Down Figure.” Ben, the son of Carly Simon and James Taylor, is performing select songs from his forthcoming album “The Legend of Kung Folk Part One: The Killing Bite.” On their own, both songwriters write well-crafted songs with beautiful voices to match, but together something magical happens. I had the opportunity to meet both artists before their gig on Tuesday night. We’ll hear a song from David Saw and a few from Ben Taylor. Enjoy.

A bit of an addendum: Tuesday’s show was supported by Carrie Tree, a wonderful singer/songwriter from the UK. Her covers of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” and Portishead’s “Bows + Arrows” were spot on.

I’ll be recuperating from wisdom teeth extraction surgery this weekend, but that’s no reason for you to stay home. Here are some great shows:
