James Taylor announces summer tour, coming to Raleigh

One of North Carolina's favorite sons, the amazing singer-songwriter James Taylor, has just announced a big summer tour that will bring him back to the Triangle for big show.

Taylor and his All-Star Band (it's not clear who will be in the band) will play the Walnut Creek Amphitheatre in Raleigh on Saturday, August 2. Tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, March 7, via Ticketmaster and Live Nation outlets.
