BOSTONGLOBE.COM – For James Taylor, Fenway the ‘ultimate hometown’ show
August 7, 2015 Published by Aaron Comments Off on BOSTONGLOBE.COM – For James Taylor, Fenway the ‘ultimate hometown’ show
By James Reed
It’s two hours until showtime, and James Taylor is finally sitting still in his dressing room at Fenway Park on Thursday afternoon. It’s already been a nonstop day with sound checks and meet-and-greets, there’s probably no time for a nap, and he’s wondering how the concert will go.
This will be a big night for him: A native son is, at long last, headlining one of Boston’s most hallowed venues — the place that inspired “Angels of Fenway,” a song from his new album, “Before This World.” The concert, with Bonnie Raitt sharing the bill, sold out in a matter of hours. But he’s not nervous, necessarily.
“It’s just that it’s one of these ultimate hometown shows,” Taylor says. “Everybody but my mom is going to be here from my family.
“It’s funny,” he explains. “It’s hard to play stadiums with music that is as intimate as mine is. There’s a tendency to make everything big. And I think we’re just going to depend on having a great sound system and the video projections. I don’t really have any way to play to . . . what is the capacity here?”
Thirty-five thousand.
“Yeah, to 35,000 people,” Taylor says. “The largest audience that I can sort of feel like I’m relating to is about 5,000. I often play to 10,000 and 15,000, but it’s like anything over 5,000 is the same. There’s not another quantum level for me to approach. But we’ll see how it goes in this large of a place.”

James Taylor’s new album has a song that’s, well, tailor-made for his sold-out Thursday show at Fenway Park.
“Angels of Fenway” celebrates the home team and Red Sox nation with shout-outs to the 1918 World Series, the Green Line and a curse reversed. (He also tosses a few knuckleballs at those damn Yankees.) After his new record “Before This World” landed at No. 1 in June — a first for Taylor — many fans might shout out the words with glee at the gig.
“The record will have been out for two months, so I hope people will have heard the song,” James said. “If not, we’ll have the lyrics up on the screen to help people along.”

Cincinnati Show Postponed to July 26
July 16, 2015 Published by Aaron Comments Off on Cincinnati Show Postponed to July 26
Riverbend Music Center just announced that the James Taylor concert originally scheduled for this Friday, July 17 has been postponed and rescheduled to Sunday, July 26.
Due to the unprecedented rain fall over the past few weeks the levels of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers are exceptionally high for this time of year. The Army Corps of Engineers has the Ohio River forecast continuing to rise over the next 48 hours causing flooding of the stage area at Riverbend. Due to these conditions the James Taylor concert cannot be performed this Friday as scheduled.
Tickets for the original show date will be honored for the rescheduled Sunday, July 26th concert. Tickets for the concert are still available for purchase at Ticketmaster.com, Riverbend.org, and all Ticketmaster outlets.
