James Taylor is the encapsulation of the best of American songwriting. His music has touched millions worldwide over his ongoing 55 year strong career and his music still stands up to the test of time.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of ‘How Sweet It Is’ which was a number 1 hit for Taylor selling over 1 million copies globally. Vernon James will be focusing on songs from Taylor’s early catalogue, such as ‘Sweet Baby James’, ‘Something In The Way She Moves’, ‘Fire and Rain’ and also more recent classics like the evocative ‘Frozen Man’.
Vernon James performs the songs true to how they were written and in the spirit of James Taylor himself, with a soulful lilt. During this two hour show, you will be taken on journey back to simpler times and happily lose yourself in the dulcet tones and sweet melodies of the finest songs written in the last half a
century.
A recent review from an audience member says it all “I have just seen Vernon James perform and his voice was quite exceptional – he captured the very essence of James Taylor. His acoustic guitar playing was beyond excellent – every nuance portrayed with great skill. This young man is extremely talented, and his performance was insightful, tender and heartfelt – the whole audience was captivated. With great integrity and knowing, Vernon has created a performance concert which he should be very proud of. The whole evening felt like a special gift, and Vernon deserves every success.”
