James Taylor has scheduled a lengthy US tour in support of his newly announced album, American Standard.
The 28-date leg kicks off May 15th in New Orleans, LA and runs through July. Fellow songwriting legend Jackson Browne will accompany Taylor for the majority of the trek — with the one exception being a show at Fenway Park, which will instead feature Brandi Carlile and Shawn Colvin in support.
Prior to kicking off his US tour, Taylor will play a number of shows in Canada with Bonnie Raitt.
