James Taylor
Swiss exclusivity
Refined songwriting, intimate voice, serene melodies. For more than 40 years, James Taylor has enchanted listeners with a quiet power, favouring emotion over manifesto. Emerging in the mid-1960s as one of the most moving singer-songwriters of his generation, as well as being a trusted collaborator of Paul McCartney, Carole King, and Joni Mitchell, the Boston-born artist became a defining figure of American folk. Celebrated for the cult classic Sweet Baby James (1970) and inspired by his admiration for Woody Guthrie, he continues to cultivate a melancholic and instantly recognisable style. With over twenty albums, nearly 100 million copies sold, multiple Grammy Awards, and a place in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, James Taylor returns to the Festival for the fifth time, with his repertoire that resonates across the globe.
