CAROLE KING AND JAMES TAYLOR’S “TROUBADOUR REUNION” AT THE ST. PETE TIMES FORUM JUNE 6


Tampa Bay – Iconic musicians Carole King and James Taylor will bring their “Troubadour Reunion” world tour, presented by Live Nation, to the St. Pete Times Forum on Sunday, June 6 at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are still available and start at just $32.25.

The idea for the "Troubadour Reunion" tour came together in 2007 after Taylor and King performed at the famed Los Angeles venue for the first time since 1969 to celebrate the Troubadour's 50th Anniversary. The shows sold out immediately and garnered rave reviews from fans and critics alike. Now, nearly four decades after helping define the singer/songwriter movement, King and Taylor will tour together with their original bandmates: guitarist Danny "Kootch" Kortchmar, drummer Russ Kunkel and bassist Lee Sklar, famous in their own right as "The Section".

Carole King performed with James Taylor at the Troubadour in November 1969. This historic show marked King's debut as a solo artist after penning 22 Top 40 hits for artists ranging from Aretha Franklin to the Monkees, while James was supporting his self-titled Apple Records release featuring classics such as "Carolina In My Mind" and "Something In The Way She Moves." Both have since become multi-platinum-selling artists, GRAMMY® winners, and members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
