Taylor Made Tapestry: 2nd Show Added

Celebrate the timeless music of Carole King and James Taylor with Taylor Made Tapestry

The Taylor Made Tapestry tribute to Carole King and James Taylor was such a hit that the first show sold out in record time, leading to the addition of a second performance. Fans packed the venue for both shows, enjoying a stunning celebration of two of the most influential singer-songwriters in music history.

A Tribute to Legends

Carole King, a Songwriters Hall of Fame and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, has left an indelible mark on music with over 400 songs recorded by more than 1,000 artists. Her legendary Tapestry album, released in 1971, reigned as the best-selling pop solo album for over a decade.

James Taylor, a five-time Grammy winner and the first artist to achieve top 10 albums in each of the past six decades, moved audiences with his emotional lyrics and timeless melodies, proving his music resonates across generations.

A Night to Remember

The tribute featured unforgettable performances by Carla Buffa (Sweet Seasons) and Stephen Bock (Taylor Made), who delivered flawless renditions of iconic hits like:

Fire and Rain
It’s Too Late
You’ve Got a Friend
I Feel the Earth Move

The band brought these classics to life, earning standing ovations and applause that filled the room during both sold-out shows.

The Band Members

Carla Buffa: Carole King Vocal, Keys
Stephen Bock: James Taylor Vocal, Guitar
Devitt Feeley: Lead Guitar, Backing Vocals
Jim Wootten: Bass, Backing Vocals
Johnny Zimmerman: Drums
Dan Heffernan: Saxophone, Flute

Fans left both performances raving about the band’s ability to recreate the magic of Carole King and James Taylor’s iconic music. The sold-out shows stand as a testament to the enduring power of these timeless songs and the deep connection audiences feel to them.

If you missed this remarkable event, keep an eye out for future performances—you won’t want to miss the next opportunity to experience Taylor Made Tapestry.
