James Taylor is the encapsulation of the best of American songwriting. His music has touched millions worldwide over his ongoing 55 year strong career and his music still stands up to the test of time. This year marks the 50th anniversary of ‘How Sweet It Is’ which
was a number 1 hit for Taylor selling over 1 million copies globally. Vernon James will be focusing on songs from Taylor’s early catalogue, such as ‘Sweet Baby James’, ‘Something In The Way She Moves’, ‘Fire and Rain’ and also more recent classics like the evocative ‘Frozen Man’.
Vernon James performs the songs true to how they were written and in the spirit of James Taylor himself, with a soulful lilt. During this two hour show, you will be taken on journey back to simpler times and happily lose yourself in the dulcet tones and sweet melodies of the finest songs written in the last half a century.
I have just seen Vernon James perform 'How Sweet It Is - The James Taylor Songbook' in West Devon. Vernon's voice was quite exceptional - he captured the very essence of James Taylor. His acoustic guitar playing was beyond excellent - every nuance portrayed with great skill. This young man is extremely talented, and his performance was insightful, tender and heartfelt - the whole audience was captivated. With great integrity and knowing, Vernon has created a performance concert which he should be very proud of. The whole evening felt like a special gift, and Vernon deserves every success.
Just enjoyed a brilliant evening with Vernon in Wotton under edge. His celebration of James Taylor and Carole King’s songs was genuine skilfully played and sung My wife thought his voice was better than James Taylor !! Do take up any opportunity to hear him.
Just seen this guy in Lichfield. One of the best gigs I've ever been to and I've been to many! Thank you so much.
Watched the concert in Holyhead yesterday. Brilliant! No effects just guitar, vocal and lots of talent. Come back to Holyhead soon and I'll bring all my friends!
“Vernon is a wonderful singer and accomplished acoustic guitarist, with a truly engaging stage presence. He kept a capacity audience at the UTEA Centre enthralled with his one man show “An Evening of James Taylor”, delivering fine renditions of James Taylor’s timeless and beautiful songs”
