FIRE & RAIN THE JAMES TAYLOR EXPERIENCE
December 11th, 2023
Show Begins 7:00pm
The James Taylor Experience (JTE) Featuring the Fire & Rain Band recreates the intimate energy of a live James Taylor Concert from his heyday in the late 70’s/early 80’s. This dynamic show includes note-perfect renditions of the timeless JT songs that have entertained generations and sold more than 40 million albums since being signed by the Beatles to their “Apple Records” label in 1968. Audiences are taken back to the early days when “Fire & Rain,” “Carolina in My Mind,” and “Sweet Baby James,” were taking the country by storm, yielding 13 top-ten albums in a career that would include a top ten CD in 2010 with “Live at the Troubadour.” The James Taylor Experience draws these same dedicated fans to celebrate the live performance of songs that made up the soundtrack of their lives. The full live concert performance also includes the rip-roaring, rocking tunes featured in James Taylor’s early live shows like “Steamroller,” “Mexico,” “Honey Don’t Leave LA,” and “How Sweet it Is (to be Loved by You).”
