James announced today that he and Bonnie Raitt have rescheduled their 12-city Canadian tour to begin September 2021. Please visit the Schedule page for the complete list of new dates.
“I’m more than a little excited to announce the rescheduled performance dates for our James Taylor/Bonnie Raitt Canadian Tour. Starting in St. John’s Newfoundland in mid-September ’21, Bonnie and I will work our way West over the following month. It’s a kind of reunion for the two of us and we’re both really excited to share the stage again. Though I say it myself, our last tour together was as good as it gets. I love Bonnie and we both love Canada!”
