James Taylor, His All-Star Band

On 12 July 2026, James Taylor & His All-Star Band play Iveagh Gardens in Dublin. The singer-songwriter and guitarist emerged at the end of the 60s with a folk rock and soft rock blend built on acoustic guitar, a calm voice and introspective writing. From his London-recorded debut to Sweet Baby James and Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon, his catalog carries Fire and Rain and his take on You’ve Got a Friend by Carole King. Through the years, he’s kept a balance between new songs and classic American standards, with albums like Hourglass, October Road, Before This World and American Standard.

On stage, Taylor moves between close-up ballads, light country hues and unhurried grooves, carried by steady guitar work and an all-star band that gives the songs room to breathe. The set draws on different chapters of his songbook without forcing the nostalgia, favoring clear arrangements, warm harmonies and the storytelling that has long shaped his live shows.
