It is no secret that I am a massive fan of the music of the golden era of pop, and that had a huge influence on both my creativity and my life choices! It has been a privilege in recent years to form a band with some fantastic players, to bring some of this music back to the live scene.
We perform the complete Tapestry album live as well as other hits written by Carole King.
This iconic album, produced by Lou Adler and released in 1971, has influenced popular music and singer-songwriters ever since. It is one of the best-selling albums of all time, with over 25 million copies sold worldwide and in 1972, received four Grammy Awards including Album of the Year. As recently as 2003, Tapestry was ranked number 36 on Rolling Stone list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, showing how influential it has been may years after its release Tapestry includes timeless songs ‘You’ve Got A Friend’, also recorded by James Taylor, ‘Natural Woman’, also recorded by Aretha Franklin and ‘Will You Love Me Tomorrow’, also recorded by The Shirelles.
I have joined together with other musicians who share a deep love of Carole King, to re-create this album in it’s entirety for your listening pleasure. A must-see for all Carole King fans.
