Eric “Chewie” Taylor is a well-known and gifted percussionist in East Texas, cherished by his wife Stephanie and their four children. As a devoted family man, Chewie has always worked multiple jobs to provide for his loved ones, while also sharing his passion for music with the community. His infectious energy behind the drum kit and his unwavering friendship have inspired many, including myself as a fellow drummer and local business owner.

Recently, Eric was hospitalized at UT Hospital due to an inherited kidney disease. This sudden health crisis has made it difficult for him to work and support his family. While his wife continues to work and care for their children, the mounting medical bills and daily expenses have become overwhelming during his treatment and recovery process.

We are reaching out to Eric’s faith community and the vibrant music scene that has grown to appreciate Chewie’s love, friendship, and talent. Your support will help cover the costs of medical care and provide relief for his family as they navigate this challenging time. Let’s come together to help Chewie get back where he belongs—behind the kit, sharing his glowing smile and passion for music with us all. Any contribution, big or small, will make a meaningful difference. Thank you for your kindness and support.
