Info
James Taylor brings his warm, reflective songwriting to The Piece Hall in Halifax on 16 July 2026. Boston-born and raised in North Carolina, he emerged at the turn of the 1970s between folk rock and soft rock, recording a first album for Apple Records in 1968 and setting the template: acoustic guitar upfront, a gentle tone, introspective lyrics. The set spans milestones like Sweet Baby James and Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon, with Fire and Rain and his version of You’ve Got a Friend, and later chapters — Hourglass, October Road, Before This World, American Standard — where new compositions sit alongside reworked standards. The through line is clear melodies, discreet country shades and a taste for storytelling. A concert shaped by songs that take their time, careful arrangements and the grain of his voice.
