Kurth & Taylor is(L-R): Lee Beverly, Nick Chetkovich, Wally Kurth, Pat McCormack, Christian Taylor, & Jim Bloodgood
Kurth & Taylor is a six-piece acoustic/ electric group featuring founding members Wally Kurth and Christian Taylor. They began as an acoustic duo in 1992 and then expanded in 1993 by adding bassist Lee Beverly, drummer Jim Bloodgood, keyboardist Nick Chetkovich(and guitarist Pat McCormack in 1996), redefining their sound into the 4-part harmony, country-rock that it is today. Later in 1993, while performing in the Los Angeles area, Kurth & Taylor were asked to join ABC's Emmy Award winning "General Hospital", on which Wally has been starring since 1992. As "Eddie Maine & The Idle Rich", Kurth & Taylor have performed their original songs in over 40 episodes for the 6 million daily viewers of "General Hospital", generating legions of fans throughout the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
They have also recently performed on numerous national television shows such as "Regis & Kathie Lee", "Crook & Chase", "The George & Alana Show", and "The Vicki Lawrence Show". Kurth & Taylor have also been featured on TNN's "Country News". "This Week In Country Music" featured interviews and concert footage from the band's show at the Ace of Clubs in Nashville on March 25th, 1997.
In the past two years, the band has performed for enthusiastic crowds at CMT's FanFest in Pomona, CA; the ZooGrass Festival in Billings, MT; the Country Jam USA in Grand Junctioin, CO; CMT's StarFest; ABC's Super Soap Weekend at Disney World; and at this year's Country Stampede in Kansas, opening for Mark Chesnut & Brook's & Dunn. Earlier this year they also completed the "Kurth & Taylor Tour For Kids" benefit concerts for Pediatric AIDS charities in Boston, Chicago, Cleveland and San Diego. Ther many concert performances have had them sharing the bill with such country music stars as Toby Keith, Joe Diffie, Martina McBride, Chris LeDoux, Billy Dean, Doug Supernaw, and Sawyer Brown.
