The story.
Chagall Guevara is an American rock band formed in 1989 by solo artist Steve Taylor, guitarists Dave Perkins and Lynn Nichols (from the 1970s Phil Keaggy band), bassist Wade Jaynes, and drummer Mike Mead.
The band was named after the avant-garde painter Marc Chagall and the Communist revolutionary Che Guevara, to convey a suggestion of "revolutionary art". All of the band members had performed contemporary Christian music, and their new band was an effort to depart from that genre. Despite this, the band still performed at the exclusively Christian music festival Cornerstone, and had their music (albeit against their wishes) distributed through Christian bookstores. The group formed in 1989 and broke up in early 1993.
A Kickstarter drive appeared in August 2020 to release unavailable and rare live and studio material, resulting in the release of two new albums.
Following the successful Kickstarter campaign, the band performed its first live show in 30 years on July 2, 2022 at Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN.
