Grammy Award-winning songwriter and recording artist Steve Leslie performs the music of James Taylor in HOW SWEET IT IS!, an authentic and spellbinding concert event!

Joining Steve is The Walking Man Band which showcases the talents of world-class recording and touring musicians who have performed with Elvis Costello, Kenny Loggins, Vince Gill, Michael McDonald, Bruce Springsteen, Bruce Hornsby, Sting, Michael Bolton, Barry Manilow, Andrea Bocelli, Stevie Wonder, and others. Audiences are raving about HOW SWEET IT IS! and the level of genuine craftsmanship Steve Leslie brings to James Taylor’s incredible catalog of songs.
Steve Leslie has had a professional songwriting career spanning more than thirty years with songs recorded by Kenny Rogers, Mark Chesnutt, George Strait, Darryl Worley, Rhonda Vincent, Neal McCoy, Ricky Skaggs, Darius Rucker, and more. A multiple BMI Award-winner, Steve received a Grammy for the title cut to Ricky Skaggs’ 2004 Best Bluegrass Album of the Year “Brand New Strings.
Steve taught Jazz History at Tallahassee Community College, Tallahassee, FL, Songwriting at Belmont University, Nashville, TN, Middle Tennessee State University, Murfreesboro, TN, and Berklee College of Music, Boston, MA.
