Chad David Taylor (born November 24, 1970,[1] in York, Pennsylvania)[citation needed] is an American guitarist and backing vocalist for the band The Gracious Few and former guitarist for the band Live. Live have sold over 20 million records,[2] including the 8× platinum album Throwing Copper.[3]

Career

Taylor playing with The Gracious Few in October 2010

Taylor was the lead guitarist and backing vocalist of the band Live and had appeared on all their albums to June 2022. He met his Live bandmates aged 13 in middle school in York, Pennsylvania. When vocalist Ed Kowalczyk left the band in 2009, Taylor formed the band The Gracious Few along with Live bandmates Patrick Dahlheimer and Chad Gracey and Kevin Martin and Sean Hennesy from Candlebox. They released their debut album The Gracious Few in 2010. In 2011, he announced that Live would reform without Kowalczyk. In 2012, Live reformed with new lead singer Chris Shinn.[4] In June 2022, Live lead singer Ed Kowalczyk announced that Taylor had been fired from the band.[5]

Taylor has produced records for other artists, including the 1996 album Happily Ever After by Solution A.D. and Play the Piano Drunk, the debut EP of his brother Adam Taylor.[6]

In November 2022, Taylor was sued by a former business associate for fraudulent misrepresentations and failing to pay alleged debts.[7] The lawsuit contained detailed allegations and documents demonstrating that Taylor had grossly inflated his net worth before and during the transaction.[7] In response to the suit, former bandmate Chad Gracey stated "unfortunately for my former band mate who tends to deny the truth no matter what, the note is real and the supporting information in the claim seems irrefutable."[7]

In May 2023, Taylor accepted a friend's invitation to sing and play guitar at a small brewpub in Wrightsville, Pennsylvania. This led to his forming a band called Chad Taylor and Friends, with performances at a downtown Lancaster venue in October and November 2023.[1][8]

Personal life

Taylor is married to Lisa, a yoga practitioner. They have three children, Ruby Lou, Scarlett and Delilah. They live in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.[9]

Taylor runs a guitar shop named Tone Tailors in northern Lancaster County within an industrial park named Rock Lititz.[1][10]
