Las Vegas, Nevada – Iconic recording artists Carole King and James Taylor recently announced additional North American dates for the highly anticipated “Troubadour Reunion” tour, including a stop in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on Saturday, July 17 for an 8:00 p.m. performance.
This once-in-a-lifetime event marks a rare concert experience bringing two of the most beloved singer-songwriters on tour together – intimate and in the round – for the first time in four decades.
The idea for the tour was conceived after a series of six performances Taylor and King gave at the Troubadour in Los Angeles in 2007 to celebrate the famed venue’s 50th Anniversary. The shows sold out immediately and garnered rave reviews from fans and critics alike.
Joining King and Taylor on tour will be their original bandmates guitarist Danny “Kootch” Kortchmar, drummer Russ Kunkel and bassist Lee Sklar, famous in their own right as “The Section.” Also joining The Section will be: Rudy Guess, Robbie Kondor, Arnold McCuller, Kate Markowitz, and Andrea Zonn.
King and Taylor’s historic performance together at the Troubadour in November 1970 heralded King’s transition to solo stage performer, after penning 22 Top 40 hits for artists ranging from Aretha Franklin’s “(You Make Me Feel Like A) Natural Woman” to the Monkees’ “Pleasant Valley Sunday”, while Taylor was supporting his self-titled Apple Records release featuring classics such as “Carolina In My Mind” and “Something In The Way She Moves.” Both have since become multi-platinum-selling artists, GRAMMY® winners, and members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Tickets, priced at $125, $85 and $55. Tickets will be available to purchase at the banner above. www.mgmgrand.com  and  Ticketmaster.
To charge by phone call 1-800-745-3000. All dates, acts, and ticket prices are subject to change without notice. All tickets are subject to applicable taxes, and service and handling charges.
In addition, Ms. King and Mr. Taylor are also offering fans one-of-a-kind VIP Stage Seats on the North American leg of the Troubadour Reunion tour.
Proceeds from the sale of these special tickets will benefit both national and local charities from each of the cities visited on the tour, including the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and Alliance for the Wild Rockies, environmental organizations that both Ms. King and Mr. Taylor have championed for years. Available exclusively at www.ticketsforcharity.com, these unique stage seats, arranged in tables of two surrounding the stage, present a once-in-a-lifetime concert experience to see two of the world’s most accomplished singer-songwriters.
The idea for the VIP seating grew out of Ms. King and Mr. Taylor’s desire to create an extraordinary “venue within a venue,” an intimate, club-like setting replicating the intimacy of the duo’s legendary Troubadour performances four decades ago, amidst the excitement of an arena performance.
