Tribute concert in which Phoebe Katis and Dan Clews sing Carole King and James Taylor songs, following a sell-out Edinburgh Festival run.
The Carole King and James Taylor Songbook comes to Babbacombe Theatre on Friday 7 May 2027, starting at 7:30 pm. It's a tribute to the two songwriters, and it arrives in Torquay after a sell-out run at The Edinburgh Festival.
The show works its way through the careers of Carole King, a six-time Grammy Award winner and twenty-time platinum hit maker, and James Taylor, a five-time Grammy Award winner and American folk legend. It pulls from their back catalogues, with passionate renditions of songs like Fire and Rain, Sweet Baby James, I Feel the Earth Move, Natural Woman and You've Got a Friend.
Performing the songs are Phoebe Katis and Dan Clews, both established artists in their own right. They're the ones on stage for the whole set, and they're the ones who bring the material to life. A reviewer for BroadwayBaby noted that both guitar and voice took fans back to The Troubadour in 1970, so if you know the original recordings, you'll recognise the sound they're aiming for.
