About James Taylor

James Taylor is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist who helped define the troubadour style that shaped the 1970s. Born in Boston in 1948 and raised in North Carolina, he broke through in 1970 with "Fire and Rain" and topped the charts a year later with his rendition of Carole King's "You've Got a Friend." His 1976 Greatest Hits album went Diamond and has sold more than 11 million copies in the U.S. alone. A six-time Grammy winner, Kennedy Center honoree, and Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient, Taylor remains a beloved live draw. In 2026 he is back on the road with his All-Star Band for a 29-show summer tour running from April through September, including his traditional Independence Day performances at Tanglewood.
