Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

We’ve seen fire and we’ve seen rain, but we’re happiest to see James Taylor on the road in 2023.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee is taking off on a 33-concert tour to go along with a few previously scheduled tour dates, a Las Vegas residency and, of course, his annual Tanglewood Music Festival in Lenox, MA on July 3 and July 4 .

Plus, Taylor and his All Star Band be stopping into New York and New Jersey for huge gigs at Bethel, NY’s Bethel Wood Center For the Arts on June 29, Wantagh, NY’s Northwell Health at Jones Beach on Sept. 3 and Holmdel, NJ’s PNC Bank Arts Center on Sept. 4.

Taylor’s upcoming tour comes on the heels of his sprawling 2022 jaunt across the globe — clearly, the 74-year-old soft rocker has quite a bit of gas left in the tank.

And if you want to secure tickets to hear “You’ve Got A Friend,” ‘Carolina In My Mind,” and “How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)” live this year, we’re happy to report that you can for cheap.

At the time of publication, we found some Taylor tickets going for as low as $18 before fees on Vivid Seats.

Not a bad price to see a legend live.

Jimmy Johnson to Join James Taylor for Summer Tour

Legendary singer/songwriter James Taylor has announced he’ll hit the road this summer for a North American tour with his All-Star Band. The trek will begin on May 25th in Woodinville, Washington, and snake down to California before picking up again in June, where they will focus on the South and Northeast.

Taylor announced the 2023 All-Stars lineup and it’s a set of fantastic musicians. He’ll be joined by Kate Markowitz (vocals), Dorian Holley (vocals), Henry Taylor (vocals), Andrea Zonn (vocals/fiddle), Larry Goldings (piano), Michael Landau (guitar), Luis Conte (percussion), Michito Sanchez (percussion), drummer Steve Gadd, and bassist Jimmy Johnson .

Johnson, who is also noted for his work with jazz guitar innovator Allan Holdsworth, has been a mainstay of Taylor’s band for years after first working with him in 1990. He’s also featured on nine of the songwriter’s albums.

“The great vibe of this band and crew is a reflection of our boss – it comes from the top down,” Johnson says of the group. “It’s a pleasure to work with such a talented group of people sharing the goal of making good music for all to enjoy.”

During the lockdown in 2020, Johnson made a video introducing fans to his bass guitar. Check it out, and see if you can figure out the answer to his bass quiz:

Music | google to stop showing links to california news reports, music | review: the funniest man in rock ‘n’ roll delights bay area crowd, james taylor performed at stanford university.

James Taylor had only been onstage a few moments on Tuesday (May 30) when a loud cry of “I love you” from a crowd member rang out across beautiful Frost Amphitheater at Stanford University.

“Well, that’s an excellent turn of events,” the 75-year-old Rock and Roll Hall of Famer responded. “I can’t explain it, but I love you too.”

That drew one of what seemed like dozens of full-throttle laughs from the large crowd, as the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer — who also happens to be the genre’s funniest man in concert — took centerstage for a wonderful two-set show at Frost Amphitheater at Stanford University.

Taylor, who remarked more than once about the beauty of the open-air venue, was in fine voice throughout the night as he rolled, mostly gently, through two dozen songs in a little more than two hours of stage time (not counting the 20-minute set break).

The show began with a video montage of James Taylor playing “Something in the Way She Moves” through the years, kicking off in the early days of his remarkable career and moving steadily toward the present day. Then James Taylor — circa May 30, 2023 — appeared in the flesh before our eyes to finish the song in memorable fashion.

He went on to provide some background about the exquisite song, which he said was the number he played as an audition for Beatles Paul McCartney and George Harrison. It ended up doing the trick and Taylor was quickly signed to the band’s Apple Records, which released the artist’s eponymous debut in 1968.

“George liked it so much that he went home and wrote it himself,” Taylor said in what was an apparent (but lighthearted) reference to the well-noted similarities between his song and Harrison’s “Something” — which opens with lyric “Something in the way she moves.”

“Everything is recycled anyway,” reasoned Taylor, closing the topic with a smile.

He then got the crowd momentarily excited by announcing that the next selection would be a number about North Carolina.”

“Probably not the one you’re thinking about,” deadpanned Taylor, pulling the rug out from under our collective feet with great comic timing. “We’ll do that one later — in the second set. This is another song about North Carolina.”

Instead of the beloved “Carolina in My Mind,” he’d mine the very same parent album (“James Taylor”) and offer up a nice version of “Rainy Day Man.”

The star of the show shared the stage with as many as 12 musicians, who were accurately billed as Taylor’s “All-Star Band.” The roll call for the evening was drummer Steve Gadd, pianist Larry Goldings, vocalist-fiddler Andrea Zonn, backing vocalists Kate Markowitz, Dorian Holley and Henry (son of James) Taylor, horn player Lou Marini, keyboardist/horn player Walt Fowler, guitarist Michael Landau, percussionist Luis Conte and bassist-bandleader Jimmy Johnson. (Taylor’s wife Kim also appeared later in the show and added some backing vocals.)

Basically all of those band members would get the chance to shine as the group moved through such selections as “Copperline” (featuring superb fiddle work from Zonn), “Country Road” (one of many drum highlights from Gadd) and “Steamroller (with plenty of fretboard fireworks from Landau — who Taylor dubbed as “perhaps the best in the business”).

All along the ride, Taylor added commentary that proved to be incredibly effective even when (or, maybe, especially when) he went out on a limb to talk about some less-than-PC topics. Such was the case with “Mona,” the song about his pet pig, whose story — spoiler alert! — doesn’t end well.

“People have been requesting that song,” Taylor said at the conclusion of “Mona” (literally and figuratively). “Perhaps that will put an end to that.”

Of course, Taylor was on acoustic guitar for most of the evening. For “Steamroller,” however,” he would grab an electric guitar, an instrument he championed as “a great improvement over the gas-and-steam guitars.”

“Actually, we just played a show in Pennsylvania and we were surprised how many horse-drawn guitars are still in service,” he joked.

The show’s best moment may well have been the fantastic version of “Fire and Rain” performed in the second set, which drew a standing ovation from the crowd. Taylor carried that momentum over to the sing-along of “Shower the People” and then closed with “Your Smiling Face.”

The star returned for an encore, which he kept right on extending despite initially giving the impression that he might end it early.

“That looked pretty spontaneous,” he said of the band’s decision to return for another song. “We’re practicing our spontaneous.”

Review | James Taylor at the Santa Barbara Bowl, May 31, 2023

We’ve STILL Got a Friend

Watching a James Taylor concert at the Bowl is a lot like having dinner with an old friend when you haven’t seen each other in a while. The first few moments of playing catch-up are a bit awkward: neither of you is as young as you used to be, and it can be jarring to see when those changes hit you all at once, rather than gradually as they do with the people you see all the time. But within a few minutes you’re back to laughing and smiling the way you used to, and it doesn’t take long to remember why you loved this person so much. 

Songs like his opener, “Something in the Way She Moves,” from his 1968 debut album James Taylor for Apple Records, about which he said was “the earliest song I’m willing to play in public,” are great reminders of the enduring charms of Taylor’s earnest melodies. “This was my audition piece for Apple Records. George Harrison and Paul McCartney signed me after I played it,” said Taylor. He noted rather cheekily that they liked it so much that, “afterward George went home and wrote it himself,” a reference to Harrison liking the song so much that he began with the words “Something in the way she moves” as the first line of his 1969 song “Something” from the Beatles album Abbey Road .

Up next was another old ditty, “Rainy Day Man,” followed by “Copperline,” which Taylor lyrically described as “a musical landscape painting about where I grew up in North Carolina.” The beautiful “Mona” (which previously unbeknownst to me is “about a pig and cold-hearted, cold-blooded, premeditated murder”) and a cover of the Chicks’ “Some Days You’ve Gotta Dance,” were early highlights of the show, as was the lullaby “Sweet Baby James,” an ode to Taylor’s then newborn nephew and namesake. “Shower the People,” Carole King’s “You’ve Got a Friend,” and “Fire and Rain” were among the other highlights of a lovely, heartfelt show.

The voice quality of a 75-year-old man, however spry he may be, is different than that of the 22-year-old he was when he wrote “Sweet Baby James” and many of his other hits — but what Taylor lacks in vocal range he more than makes up for in wit, charm, perspective, and the ability to put together a hell of a great band to work with. They all were exceptional, particularly Lou Marini (Blood Sweat & Tears, the original Saturday Night Live band) on sax, Andrea Zonn on vocals and fiddle, Larry Goldings on piano, and Michael Landau on guitar. And the sound mix was also notably terrific (something I usually only notice when it doesn’t work).

My only complaint about the whole lovely evening is that the band was so good, and Taylor was so charming, I wish they had trusted the music a bit more — show us more close-ups of these amazing musicians — and leaned a little less on the cheesy and unnecessarily distracting background videos. But that’s a minor matter in a show that was so memorable. It even had the perfect last two songs for the encore: the aptly reflective “Secret ‘o Life,” (“the secret of life is enjoying the things you have …”) followed by a beautiful duet of “Close Your Eyes” with Taylor’s 22-year-old son Henry Taylor, who sang back-up vocals for most of the night, but joined his father on guitar for that one.

Published on

James Taylor has announced a 20-date U.S. summer tour with his All-Star Band simply titled, “An Evening With James & His All-Star Band.” Taylor’s most recent album was 2020’s American Standard .

The tour kicks off at Columbia’s Colonial Life Arena on June 21, with stops including Charlotte, Raleigh, Allentown, and Denver, among others. The trek wraps up at Las Vegas’s T-Mobile Arena on July 30. Taylor is then set to embark on a European tour beginning September and running through November. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, March 25.

On August 20, Taylor will be a special guest for the famed Lenox, MA venue Tanglewood’s 90th Birthday Celebration of composer John Williams, along with Yo-Yo Ma and Branford Marsalis.

‘just once in my life’: the righteous brothers keep that lovin‘ feelin’, ‘the beatles’ second album’: the us takeover continues.

Taylor recently spoke to us on his latest return visit to London – where he spent significant time in the late 1960s while signed to The Beatles ’ Apple label. The cherished troubadour explained the process of American Standard , and reshaping songs in his inimitable style. “It’s basically a guitar album,” he said. “The selection process was that we played the songs that I knew already on the guitar, since these were songs from my family’s record collection in North Carolina in the 50s and 60s.

“I brought them to John Pizzarelli, who was my collaborator and co-producer, and just in the process of teaching them to John and running them through with him, all of these half-baked versions of the songs sorted themselves out. The ones that worked clearly worked, and the other ones were just pushed to the side. We ended up with about 20 songs that we cut basic tracks on. We finished 17 of them and we put 14 on the album.

“So it really is born out to me that when people think of me as doing other people’s music, it’s really [that I’m] putting it through a musical process. Even when it’s someone else’s song, 50% of it is still my process.”

Q&A: James Taylor on his 2024 U.S. tour, the possibility of new music and his legacy

LOS ANGELES (AP) — He’s gone to Carolina in his mind and on tour for much of 2024.

Not long after his 76th birthday, James Taylor & His All-Star Band will take their show on the road in the United States, hitting 24 cities for 31 shows in five months.

Over Zoom from his studio in western Massachusetts, Taylor tells The Associated Press “It’s been September since the last time I’ve been out.” That, he says, is “a long time for me.”

The tour kicks off in Los Angeles at the Hollywood Bowl on May 29 and ends at Wolf Trap Filene Center in Vienna, Virginia, on Sept. 15.

The tour hits Salt Lake City; Morrison, Colorado; Kansas City, Missouri; St. Louis; Highland Park, Illinois; Noblesville, Indiana; Nashville, Tennessee; North Little Rock, Arkansas; Thackerville, Oklahoma; Clarkston, Michigan; Darien Center, New York; Syracuse, New York; Bethel Woods, New York; Bangor, Maine; Gilford, New Hampshire; Lenox, Massachusetts; Philadelphia; Wantagh, New York; Saratoga Springs, New York; Bridgeport, Connecticut; Burgettstown, Pennsylvania, and Boston.

This interview has been edited for clarity and brevity.

AP: Before the continental U.S. tour, you’re headed to Japan, the Philippines, Australia, New Zealand and Hawaii. What keeps it interesting?

TAYLOR: The audience, always. The event itself has never failed to supply the motivation and the energy that is required. You know, it’s very compelling to go a great distance and to find a crowd of people that have bought tickets to come see me and the band play again.

Over time, it’s something you learn to do, to keep your strength up, keep your health... also, I don’t do more than a couple of shows in a row without a day off. I’ll do more than that if I’m in one town, but generally speaking, we pace ourselves now.

AP: That’s good advice.

TAYLOR: I definitely burned myself out a few times.

AP: You’re performing at Tanglewood, in your home state of Massachusetts, 50 years since you first performed there. What significance does it hold?

TAYLOR: I was trying to figure out whether or not it was 50 years or 50 shows that I’ve been playing at Tanglewood, and it turns out it’s both. 1974 was the first time I played there. It averages out to one a year, although at one point we skipped a whole decade.

We had an episode where one of my crew members, in a fit of pique, drove a truck across the Tanglewood lawn and made a mess of it. He was told he had to get the truck off the lawn because it had been raining and it was making an imprint on it. As we were breaking down after the show, he was driving out there to unload the mixing board and stuff. But he put it in reverse, stomped the accelerator and tore a great trough, a great furrow in the Tanglewood lawn. And they never asked me back. It was only when (my wife) Kim came along and resurrected my reputation that I was allowed to come back.

It’s been a great privilege... It’s turned out to be a great thing for me, to play Tanglewood every year.

AP: Does an anniversary like that — 50 years — allow you to reflect on your career?

TAYLOR: This is the time of life when you feel like you ought to get in touch with a lawyer and make a will. You see, the older generation, the people that were your friends and mentors, sort of checking out one by one . It is a time when you feel as though things are being summed up a little bit and you start thinking about, the whole thing as a totality. You know, a line from one of my songs, “Copperline,” is “I’m only living ‘til the end of the week,” and I think that really does describe me.

But, you know, it is a period of time when you look back and see the whole thing, it’s important not to internalize that idea of being a big deal. It’s important to focus on what it is that you do — and that thing as a craft that allows you to have your place in the world.

AP: What has that allowed you to learn?

TAYLOR: As time goes by, I think it’s wrong for people to judge other people and even to evaluate them, and yet it’s something we constantly do, and we can’t avoid it. But we should mitigate it by knowing that when we judge someone, we’ve got it wrong. They know who they are, and not we. But, of course, in a million ways, all day long, we evaluate ourselves and other people and it’s complicated. It’s not up to me determine what my ultimate position in popular culture turns out to be 50 years from now.

AP: That’s a value judgment, too.

TAYLOR: I see people selling the rights to their catalogs. That baby boom generation musical expression, which happened between ’62 and 1980, that sort of 20 years of amazing activity that happened, I was in the center of it and actually got my start in London with the Beatles . So, I had a real sense of this generational phenomenon that the music that I was part of, was a big feature in the landscape and we were communicating to each other. We invented a kind of music there. It was predicted by rhythm and blues and folk music. And those two resurgences sort of fueled it and supplied it. It was big.

You see those people now, being in my sort of age group generally, selling the rights to their catalogs and sort of evaluating what their life’s output was worth. You know, David Bowie ’s went for like 250 million. I think (Bob) Dylan ... got like 300 million... (Bruce) Springsteen is said to have gotten more than that, like half a billion or something. It’s sort of like monopoly money.

AP: What do you hope people take away from your live show, and are you working on a new album?

TAYLOR: I feel like I’ve got another one in me — sounds like an egg — but I’m writing a little bit.

And as to what I hope people take away from live performances, I hope they take away a sense of connection. You know, live music — the thing that I’m so attached to about it, why I can’t let it go — is that there’s something (that) happens when people come together for a couple of hours for two or three hours and have a sort of collective experience.

It’s indescribable. You prepare for it, but when it happens, it’s spontaneous and, in a way, unique. I love it when that happens, and it does most nights.

Recent tour reviews

One of the best shows I've seen! The eclectic feel of the whole program was continuous from start to finish. The musicians, the back drops and James himself blended together with such ease. At one point, a fan was near the stage to have her friend take a picture. James saw them and started talking to the lady. Made her move closer so her friend could get both of them in the picture! He was sincere, down to earth and talked to the audience several times like we were all friends. Who does that these days; J.T. If you left the show not happy or satisfied, there is something seriously wrong with you! With a 20min intermission, there were two full sets. They played 2+ hours of music! James said "we're going to play one more than go to intermission. Why we have to take intermission I don't know but was told we had to" and everyone laughed. Still down to earth after 50 years and true to his craft and his fans! If you appreciate music, no matter what genre, this show is a must see for all ages.

I’ve waited 40 years to see James Taylor and his voice is as great as it was then. The show was tremendous. I loved how before each song he would give a little story about why he wrote the song, he was so funny too! And the background effects were so moving. He introduced each band member and a photo popped up of that band member as a child. It was like being with a family. My type of show. And during the intermission he went to his fans to take photos with them and sign autographs. He did 4 encores. Just melted my heart ❤️ James Taylor is a true gem, a genuine soul that has blessed us with his talent for decades! I would highly recommend his show to anyone who appreciates musical talent at its best. He is truly loved by everyone who works with him and who comes in his path even if it’s us fans.

A definite Top 10 concert for me. I've seen JT and Bonnie Raitt separately, four times. Love them both. They sing the music of my lifetime. The setting at AT&T Park surpassed my expectation. After Bonnie Raitt played for over an hour, James Taylor blew it out of the park for over an hour and a half, THEN they came out together and performed several songs, then encores, then ONE MORE!

Thought the magic of the night would never end.

Such a fun show. Loved every second of being in their company.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour crowd caused earthquake-like tremors. These 5 songs shook SoFi Stadium the most.

By Nicole Brown Chau

Updated on: March 18, 2024 / 6:44 PM EDT / CBS News

Taylor Swift is known to have an energetic fan base, but just how much energy can 70,000 Swifties generate? A group of scientists in California may have an answer based on earthquake-like signals from her Los Angeles Eras Tour concert at SoFi Stadium on Aug. 5, 2023.

After Swift's concerts at Seattle's Lumen Field in July caused seismic activity, a California Institute of Technology research team sought to better understand what causes "concert tremor." The team recorded vibrations from motion sensors it set up near and inside SoFi Stadium as well as regional seismic network stations and was able to detect 43 of the 45 songs Swift performed during her concert. 

By calculating the energy radiated during each song at the Los Angeles concert, the Caltech researchers could interpret each as a local magnitude of an earthquake that would have radiated the same energy, according their research article , published in Seismological Research Letters on March 13.

With these calculations, the study found the most energetic signals during these songs:

• "Shake It Off" with a local magnitude of 0.851
• "You Belong with Me" with a local magnitude of 0.849
• "Love Story" with a local magnitude of 0.800
• "Cruel Summer" with a local magnitude of 0.741
• "22" with a local magnitude of 0.645

The energy released during each song is over a few minutes, rather than a second in the case of an earthquake, explained Gabrielle Tepp, a staff seismologist at the Caltech Seismological Laboratory who oversaw the study. "So the magnitude calculated from the maximum amplitude of shaking is much lower (about -2)," she told CBS News.

The researchers determined that crowd motion was the primary source of the concert tremor signals, not the speaker system and instruments.

They also analyzed three other concerts at SoFi in the summer of 2023: Morgan Wallen, Metallica and Beyoncé.

"Overall, the results from these concerts are similar to those from the Swift concerts and support the audience-source hypothesis," the research article says. "The (local magnitude) of the songs was in the same range as the Swift concerts, although none matched or exceeded the strongest Swift signal."

Swift's Eras Tour has broken multiple records, including becoming the first to gross over $1 billion , according to Pollstar. Swift is currently on a brief break from shows, with the tour starting again on May 9 in Paris after the release of her eleventh studio album, The Tortured Poets Department , on April 19.

Taylor Swift joins Oprah, Rihanna on Forbes billionaires list. See who else made the list

It's been a long time coming, but... Taylor Swift has now joined Forbes' Worlds' Billionaire List.

Here's what we know.

Is Taylor Swift a billionaire?

Yes . The pop superstar, who  reached billionaire status in October , landed on Forbes'  World’s Billionaires list , the business magazine shared Tuesday. Among other celeb billionaires who made the cut — including  Rihanna ,  Kim Kardashian ,  Oprah Winfrey  and  "Star Wars"  creator George Lucas — Swift was ranked at No. 14 with a net worth of $1.1 billion.

More on Taylor Swift: Ka-ching! Taylor Swift lands on Forbes' World's Billionaires list with $1.1B net worth

Lucas tops the celebrity billionaire list, with a net worth of $5.5 billion — five times that of Swift.

However, the "Is It Over Now?" singer still managed to make history as the first person to reach billionaire status "based solely on songwriting and performing," according to Forbes .

Swift had a lucrative 2023, thanks in large part to her record-breaking  Eras Tour , which became the first tour in history to earn more than $1 billion. The global trek,  which kicked off in March 2023 , took in an estimated ticket gross of $1.04 billion last year from 4.35 million tickets sold, according to  music industry trade publication Pollstar .

Swift's U.S. concerts added an estimated $4.3 billion to the country’s gross domestic product in 2023,  Bloomberg reported in October .

A concert film of the tour,  "Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour,"  opened at the box office in October with earnings of $92.8 million. Within days, it became the highest-grossing concert film ever in North America, not accounting for inflation.
