Sweet Baby James: The #1 James Taylor Tribute @ Broad Brook Opera House
Dec 1 @ 7:00 pm – 11:00 pm

America’s #1 James Taylor tribute artist Bill Griese visits from Nashville with his acclaimed Sweet Baby James show. Join us for the timeless music of the 6-time Grammy winner, with a performance you have to hear to believe! Not your typical tribute band fare and not a “look-alike” impersonator, Griese brings you the songs & stories of Taylor in a refreshingly authentic way – using only his spot-on vocals and skillful guitar playing. It’s a natural & respectful homage to an American original. Whether you’re a lifelong or casual JT fan, this one is not-to-miss!

See why audiences rave: “close my eyes and it’s JT,” “the next best thing to James himself,” and “like having James Taylor in your living room!” Walking Man Productions presents the ultimate James Taylor experience, with favorites like “Fire & Rain,” “You’ve Got a Friend,” “Shower the People,” “How Sweet It Is,” “Steamroller,” and more; plus hidden gems for a truly “Taylor made” show honoring one of our greatest troubadours.

Doors 7:00pm

Show 8:00pm
