Sweet baby James Taylor performed Wednesday, November 19 at Jacksonville’s Veterans Memorial Arena.

The Carolina minstrel enchanted the crowd with an array of his familiar hits like “Fire & Rain”, “Sweet Baby James”, “Up On The Roof”.

As a recording and touring artist, James Taylor has touched people with his warm baritone voice and distinctive style of guitar-playing for more than 40 years, while setting a precedent to which countless young musicians have aspired.  Over the course of his celebrated song-writing and performing career, Taylor has sold more than 100 million albums, earning gold, platinum and multi-platinum awards for classics ranging from Sweet Baby James in 1970 to October Road in 2002.  He has won multiple Grammy awards and has been inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the prestigious Songwriters Hall of Fame.
