DORSET - In a benefit for Clear Path International, the son and daughter of James Taylor and Carly Simon will be playing together for one night only at Dorset's Long Trail School on Monday July 18 at 7 p.m. Ben and Sally Taylor, both formidable talents in their own right will be joined on stage by local favorite, Rick Redington for an evening of acoustic music to benefit landmine victims in SE Asia.

Fresh off the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine, Ben's voice and guitar style are often, naturally, compared to that of his parents, but critics have also praised his own style that draws on an eclectic mix of influences.

"I couldn't be more proud to sound like either of my parents," says Ben. "Physically or stylistically, this is who I am. But I am a different guy and I write different music."

Sally Taylor played last year to a sold-out house at The Dorset Playhouse with the Jim Gilmour Band and Rick Redington & the Luv Machine. Along with her husband, Dean Bragonier, Sally formed the Tranquility Project that partners with Dorset's Clear Path International in addressing landmine victim assistance.

Clear Path International serves landmine and bomb accident survivors, their families and their communities in former war zones in Southeast Asia. This assistance takes the form of both direct and indirect medical and social services to survivor families as well as equipment support to hospitals. Current Clear Path projects are in Vietnam, Cambodia and on the Thai-Burma border.
