Christopher Payne-Taylor is an acoustic garage rocker with a sophisticated intellectualism and punk-flavored sensibility most often likened to Tom Waits and Iggy Pop. He couples a wry, irreverent stage presence with sets of dark, lyrical musings on love, lust, pain and spirituality.
Payne-Taylor's latest single, "Cry Out," is the most pared-down "in your living room" recording approach he has ever taken, serving up an unlikely paean to hope, freedom and the future, places he has traveled a long way to reach, only to find that they’ve been traveling with him all along.
His follow-up acoustic single, "Craziest Thing" hits a poppier vein while Evangelista stands as a mortal collision of spirituality and sensuality at the darker edge of the "acoustic garage" spectrum.
Co-founder of New York punk band, Karyn Satin & the Bedsheets, in the iconic CBGB’s era, he is also co-founder of AdME (Advertising-driven Mobile Entertainment), a branded mobile entertainment company making its debut in early 2009 with a mobile promotional project featuring Gibson Guitar Corporation, HavocTV and The Presidents of the United States of America (PUSA).
