MUSIC NEWS- Iconic folk/pop musicians/songwriters, Carole King and James Taylor have announced that they will hit the road in 2010 on a “Troubadour Reunion” world tour. The tour will kick off in Melbourne, Australia on March 27, 2010 and will travel to New Zealand and Japan before coming to North America and Europe.
The set list is said to include a selection of material that includes songs they performed during their 1970 debut show at the Troubadour in Los Angeles, which helped propel them both to the world stage. Tickets for dates in Australia and New Zealand and The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles go on-sale November 23, 2009. Tickets for Japan shows go on sale December 12. Additional dates in North America and Europe will be announced soon.
UPDATE 1/11/10 - See news on North American tour dates.
The idea for the “Troubadour Reunion” tour came together in 2007 after Taylor and King performed at the famed L.A. venue for the first time since 1970 to celebrate the Troubadour’s 50th Anniversary. The shows sold out immediately and got them rave reviews from fans and critics alike. The Los Angeles Times noted “the sense of occasion [and] weight of history in the evening” and Variety said “Taylor and King reminded us about the intensity of song, that the artistically-rich and commercially-viable are not mutually exclusive and how one tiny club continues to be a birthing room for some of this city's most memorable music.”
