Musical tribute to Carole King and James Taylor
You’ve got a friend : a musical tribute to Carole King and James Taylor feat. Miss Emily
Such as successful band, we just have to have them back, again! It’s hard to find the time now that Miss Emily is so busy! “You’ve Got a Friend” is a classic James Taylor/Carole King show made up of a collection of Kingston area musicians, all with an incredible depth of musical talent and experience, as well as a great love of James Taylor’s and Carole King’s music.
Miss Emily came across her mother’s copy of Carole King’s Tapestry album when she was nine years old. It changed her life forever, as a major inspiration for her fifteen years of work as a full-time singer and songwriter.
