In November of 2007, Carole King and James Taylor performed at the Troubadour in honor of its 50th anniversary. The concert was a reunion of the two artists, who performed regularly together at the West Hollywood rock club in the early ‘70s.
Honoring the legacy of both performers and their legendary musical collaboration, Stephen Bock of the stellar James Taylor tribute band Taylor Made joins forces with Carla Buffa of the popular Southern California Carole King tribute band Sweet Seasons. This excellent group of musicians faithfully pays tribute to these iconic artists with outstanding accuracy and attention to detail, playing classics such as “Fire and Rain,” “It’s Too Late,” “Carolina in My Mind,” “So Far Away,” Your Smiling Face,” “I Feel the Earth Move,” “Shower the People,” “Jazzman,” “You’ve Got a Friend” and “Locomotion.”
Carole King has been inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. She wrote several Top Ten hits for various groups with her partner and husband Gerry Goffin during the '60s, and in 1971, her Tapestry album became the top-selling pop solo album ever and held that position until Michael Jackson's Thriller in 1982. Over the course of her long career, she penned over 400 songs that have been recorded by more than 1,000 artists.
James Taylor rose to fame in the 1970s, when he became known for writing and performing sensitive, affecting songs. Over the course of a long-running career, Taylor has won five Grammy Awards and is the first artist to have top 10 albums in each of the last six decades. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000 and received a National Medal of the Arts in 2011. Taylor continues to be esteemed as a songwriter and performer whose work speaks to people's inner emotional lives.
Come and celebrate the music of two of the most renowned pop artists of our generation with Taylor Made Tapestry, a Tribute to Carole King & James Taylor.
