James Taylor announced the exclusive concert during a live interview with Howard Stern on The Howard Stern Show on Stern's exclusive SiriusXM channel, Howard 100, Tuesday morning.
James Taylor will perform songs from his 40-plus year career as well as music from his new album Before This World, which is scheduled to be released on Tuesday, June 16. The concert will air live nationwide on SiriusXM's James Taylor Channel, Taylor's limited-run SiriusXM channel.
SiriusXM's James Taylor Channel, the limited-run 24/7 commercial-free music channel, will feature music from the iconic singer-songwriter's entire catalog, including all seventeen of his studio albums—music from his early albums like Sweet Baby James to his biggest selling album JT as well as his Covers album and his soon to be released Before This World album. Taylor will discuss his career as well as the recording of his new album Before the World, his first album of new material in 13 years. The James Taylor Channel will also feature classic James Taylor concert performances.
James Taylor Channel will launch on Friday, May 22 at 6:00 pm ET and will air through Sunday, June 21, via satellite on channel 17, and through the SiriusXM App on smartphones and other connected devices, as well as online at siriusxm.com.
"We are very proud to present a live performance by James Taylor at the famed Apollo for our subscribers.
