James Taylor, Carole King Team Up for Troubadour Reunion Tour
James Taylor and Carole King, a pair of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame-inducted singer-songwriters, will bring their Troubadour Reunion tour to North America this May. The trek marks the first time in 40 years — since the original Troubadour shows back in 1970 — that the two have toured together, though the pair did reunite for six shows at Los Angeles’ Troubadour in 2007 to celebrate that venue’s 50th anniversary. (Read our report from the show here: James Taylor and Carole King Return in High Style to the Troubadour.) “This is like one of those dreams where you go back to school,” Taylor joked onstage in ’07.
Before they hit the road, King and Taylor will both serve as musical guest on the January 20th episode of The Late Show With David Letterman and the Today show. Tickets for the Troubadour Reunion show go on sale starting January 23rd. Before the stateside leg starts May 7th, Taylor and King will perform shows in Australia, New Zealand and Japan.
