James Taylor & Carole King: Troubadour Reunion Tour Will Be a Tough Ticket

King and Taylor Will Sell Out Hollywood Bowl May 13^th – 15^th but Al Brooks Tickets Will Get You the Seats You Want

Carole King and James Taylor’s Troubadour Reunion makes reference to the long history these two legends have at West Hollywood’s Troubadour venue. The tour kicks off in Australia for a run through the Far East before arriving at Hollywood Bowl in May, and includes the May 4^th release of a 2 disc CD/DVD of their 2007 live performance at the Troubadour.

“The Bowl is the perfect venue for Carole King and James Taylor.” said Jeff Brooks, president of Al Brooks Tickets, the Los Angeles based ticket broker that has been around since 1919 and is still family owned and operated. “But all of Southern California knows that and feels that, so this will be a tough ticket. These two made history here at the Troubadour and sent the music world of the 1970’s off into their universe of emotion, feeling and special brand of beauty.”

“Of course Al Brooks tickets will have James Taylor tickets for our clients and we will have a great selection throughout the run.” Jeff continued. “It all comes down to our sources – and they are the best in the business.”

Carole King was a famous songwriter but still struggling as a performer when she teamed up with James Taylor, who had just released his debut album, for the initial Troubadour appearance in November of 1970. When they returned for a two week run a year later, their careers had exploded – Taylor’s Fire and Rain was on the top of the charts and King’s Tapestry album was on its way. In 2007 they returned again, this time for the Troubadour’s 50^th anniversary.

Al Brooks Tickets is located in the Wilshire Grand Hotel at 900 Wilshire Blvd, Suite 104, Los Angeles, CA 90017 and provides tickets for venues throughout the US and internationally.
