James Taylor Around The World

Over the past few days James Taylor has been unveiling his travel plans for early 2017. So far his global itinerary includes tour dates in Philippines, China, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand.

The beloved singer/songwriter is continuing to promote his latest album, Before This World. The 2015 album is 17th full length effort and his first release of new material in 13 years.

Taylor has spent 2016 touring the U.S. and Canada. While on the road he set up a makeshift recording studio in a hotel closet to contribute a recording of “Here, There and Everywhere” to Howard Stern Show’s tribute compilation in celebration of the 50th anniversary of The Beatles’ Revolver.

The special – which is available On Demand on Sirius XM – also features Joe Bonamassa, Jewel, The Milk Carton Kids, Rachael Yamagata, Madisen Ward And The Mama Bear, Cheap Trick, Grace Potter, Gov’t Mule, Grouplove, J Mascis, O.A.R., Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, and Living Colour.
