FIRE & RAIN & MARGARITAS: “A Celebration Of The Music Of James Taylor & Jimmy Buffet”
Description: For over 15 years The James Taylor Experience(JTE) tribute show has been recreating the look, feel, and sound of a James Taylor concert. The world was saddened by the recent loss of Jimmy Buffett. Buffett and JT were good friends who performed together often over the years and sang each others songs in various recordings. They are two of the most beloved and prolific singer-songwriters the world has ever produced. Fire & Rain, You’ve Got a Friend, and Carolina in My Mind are just a few of JT’s many hits, and Buffett’s Margaritaville, and Son of a Son of a Sailor are examples of the timeless tunes that each tell a story straight from Jimmy Buffet’s adventurous life.
FIRE AND RAIN BAND – The JT Experience recreates the intimate energy of a live James Taylor concert from his heyday in the late ’70’s/early ’80’s. This dynamic show includes note-perfect renditions of the timeless JT songs that have entertained generations and sold more than 40 million albums since being signed by the Beatles to their “Apple Records” label in 1968.
Audiences are taken back to the early days when “Fire & Rain,” “Carolina in My Mind,” and “Sweet Baby James,” were taking the country by storm, yielding 13 top-ten albums in a career that would include a top ten CD in 2010 with “Live at the Troubadour.” The James Taylor Experience draws these same dedicated fans to celebrate the live performance of songs that made up the soundtrack of their lives. The full live concert performance also includes the rip-roaring, rocking tunes featured in James Taylor’s early live shows like “Steamroller,” “Mexico,” “Honey Don’t Leave LA,” and “How Sweet it Is (to be Loved by You).”
The result is a night of fantastic songs and brilliant guitar-work, all fronted by Greg Pitts, a performer who’s look and sound will take you back to the early days of James Taylor’s career. Greg grew up on James Taylor and was a JT disciple on guitar and vocal all the way back to his youth when for the first time he met JT at a concert at West Point, NY in 1981. This fortuitous meeting led Greg to spend years learning the distinctive finger-picking style employed by Taylor, incorporating it into his live performances.
Since then Greg has performed the songs of James Taylor for appreciative crowds all over the world including Europe, Asia, Las Vegas, Seattle, New England (of course), and the Southeastern US.
