1970, it’s the dawn of a new era, the era of the singer-songwriter and James Taylor is crowned its king. Every time you turned on the radio, you couldn’t escape the soothing, intensely personal reflections, of a song called ‘Fire & Rain’.Multi award winning performer, Darren Coggan, takes us on an eloquent journey through the songbook of one of the most magnetic figures in the music world, a modern-day troubadour, who channeled his self-destructive impulses into some of the most memorable songs of our time; How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You, Country Road, Carolina In My Mind, Sweet Baby James, You’ve Got A Friend, Shower The People, Fire & Rain and many more.
“For over fifty years, James Taylor’s songs have resonated with people everywhere” said Darren, His rich baritone voice is comforting, familiar, warm and friendly but it is much more than the voice. He is a superb storyteller, whose songs are enduringly relevant and speak to millions of people in a very personal way. James Taylors’ songs testify to the beauty and redemptive power of music”
Re-live the voice of a generation, in a celebration of one of the most inspiring and prolific singer songwriters of our time, remarkably re-created live, by Darren Coggan.
Why You Can’t Miss It:
“Coggan has a fresh, powerful, expressive voice, and he just oozed style.”
