James Taylor and Jackson Browne were supposed to play at Jones Beach Theatre tonight before the covid pandemic wiped out what would have been a pretty jam packed summer concert season at the outdoor beach venue. As it turns out, a performance tonight would have proven to have been problematic with tropical storm Fay bearing down on Long Island presently. Fortunately many of the concerts canceled for 2020 have been rescheduled to similar dates in 2021. Giving us all something to look forward to down the line and around the bend.
James Taylor has been a classic rock mainstay for decades and his original music has stood the test of time. From a free concert in Central Park many years ago to more recently the Newport Folk Festival and many stops in between, James Taylor always provides musical comfort food and a pleasant night out. With Jackson Browne opening, and hopefully better weather, the July, 2021 date should be a welcome return to live music for performers and fans alike.
Mr. Taylor’s most recent release is a collection of standards that have been, as legendary DJ Jim Kerr said, ”Taylorized”.
