James Taylor at Empower FCU Amphitheater At Lakeview

Why see James Taylor?

Sweet Baby, It's James!

A true legend associated with Californian folk-rock, James Taylor is one of the most personal and intimate songwriters, who continues to make fresh, new artistic triumphs a mere forty years after his breakthrough album.

In a career that started off with a bang in 1960's NYC, by way of Swingin' London and a cool collaboration with the Beatles, it was 1970 that brought Sweet Baby James (and his eponymous record) to public notice, displaying an epic and haunting maturity that seemed far beyond his 22 years and leading to his becoming part of a peerless group that defined that era, including Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne and many more. More recently he has inspired and worked with country mega-star Taylor Swift.

Expect such hits from the five-time Grammy Award Winner as 'Fire and Rain', 'Country Road', 'Something In The Way She Moves', 'Mexico', 'Shower The People', 'Your Smiling Face', 'Carolina In My Mind', 'Sweet Baby James', in an always incredible performance.

Fantastic Show!

I grew up an old school, rhythm and blues, Motown music guy. I never would have thought of seeing Mr. Taylor perform, however, my wife saw tickets available for his show, bought them, and then insisted that we go. The show turned out to be FANTASTIC! He had masterful acoustic guitar skills, a very warm and engaging stage presence, a top notch, stellar band, and a catalog of songs that each told a unique story about the experience of living life on a daily basis. I arrived at the show, not knowing much about James Taylor's music, and left feeling that I've unfortunately missed out on a musical treasure for many years. If I ever have a chance to see him again, I will NOT miss out! ... Read more
