The Songs of James Taylor

Hi! My name is Ian Entwistle and thanks for spending time on my website.

I have been performing live acoustic music for the whole of my adult life. I devote a large portion of my time covering my favorite singer songwriter, Mr James Taylor. In a nutshell I have analysed and tried to exact the unique acoustic guitar style on most of James Taylor's best known songs. My interest is in performing unplugged concerts as a James Taylor tribute band under the logo 'Songs of James Taylor' accompanied by great harmonies from 5 talented female backing vocalists. Some parts include Joni Mitchel and Alison Krauss covers. We work endlessly on getting the vocal harmonies to sound right.
 
Its not all down to the acoustic guitar and vocals by the way - there is some proficient bass playing which gives warmth to this great James Taylor tribute band. We have being doing these concerts over a couple of years now and its getting pretty polished. 

Please get in touch if you would like to attend a future show, organise a charity event or learn how to play James Taylor guitar. Please note though success with the JT picking style is not instant! It will take you hours and hours of spare time but the rewards are worth it.

If you feel inclined there is a bit more information in terms of sound files, feedback from some concerts, video guitar instruction and guitar tab on the following pages of this website.

Finally please look at the Taylor'd Country website, if you would like details of another great band I am involved in.

Bye for now!

Ian
