“The keyword for a James Taylor concert is ‘perfection’. James Taylor’s albums are often music masterpieces, but it is the live concert experience that makes the songs larger than life.” – Noise 11
“Not only in fine voice, Taylor is a consummate storyteller which drew the audience in and created a deeper connection to the songs.” – The West
“Attending a James Taylor concert is like having an old mate round for an evening, and he brings his guitar along, and he plays some of your favourite songs.” – Adelaide Advertiser
Over the course of his celebrated songwriting and performing career, Taylor has sold more than 100 million albums, earning gold, platinum and multi-platinum awards since the release of his self-titled debut album in 1968. In 2015, Taylor released Before This World, the first-ever #1 album of his illustrious career.
Taylor has won multiple GRAMMY Awards, has been inducted into both the Rock and Roll and the prestigious Songwriters Halls of Fame and in February 2006, The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences selected him its MUSICARES Person of the Year.
