Taylor Made – James Taylor Tribute Unplugged at Gaslight Music Hall Oro Valley {Giveaway}

Taylor Made – James Taylor Tribute Unplugged

at Gaslight Music Hall Oro Valley

{Giveaway}

Arizona Families is collaborating with Gaslight Music Hall for this giveaway

WHAT:Taylor Made – James Taylor Tribute Unplugged

Taylor Made, The James Taylor Tribute Band, consists of a group of musicians who are dedicated to bringing the uplifting, soulful and memorable sounds of the legendary singer-songwriter to be enjoyed in any setting. Paying close attention to the details of each song, we have crafted a sound that captures the live and recorded experience of listening to James Taylor in concert. As a full 6-piece or a 4 piece “unplugged” version, Taylor Made is truly the next best thing to JT himself!

Taylor Made “Unplugged” is: Stephen Bock on lead vocals and acoustic guitar, Darryl Lieberstein on bass and vocals, Preston Gould on horns, vocals and percussion and Sheryl Braunstein on vocals and percussion, “We have gathered together an outstanding group of musicians and singers who remain true to the original qualities of the JT tunes we play, while adding a touch of our own unique style. It all adds up to a dynamic and amazing sound”, says lead singer and guitarist Stephen Bock. Taylor Made plays a wide variety of tunes from the Taylor songbook, which can be categorized from rock, soul and funk all the way to blues, folk and ballads. “It is really an incredible array of styles that we get to bring to life”, says bass player Darryl Lieberstein.

Folks are likely to hear Fire and Rain, How Sweet It Is and Mexico as well as Steamroller Blues, Your Smiling Face and of course You’ve Got A Friend. With such a wide array of musical styles to choose from, Taylor Made can ‘tailor make’ their set list to suite any occasion.

The Gaslight Theatre Tucson Tickets Available for the High Octane, "Rock-a-billy Raceway"

The Gaslight Theatre in Tucson and the Gaslight Music Hall in Oro Valley offer Tucson family-friendly shows season after season, show after show! The current melodrama at the Broadway and Kolb location is Rockabilly Raceway and is a Gaslight original theme and we all loved it from our 8 year-old to Nana.

Arizona Families visited the Gaslight to see a show with a media invite.

The story line is simple but what a fun era to recreate the Grease - like diner, car and bad boys and good girls. Will the rock n'rollers with the good hearts win the race and dance contest or will the no good cheaters take home the prize?

These guys think they deserve everything in their small Americana town but do they? Smooth and slick or sleazy?

Will he put a wrench in the plans for the big race?

If these cool guys in shades can stop him, they will!

One of the best Olios ever- well, we also LOVED Disney but singing along to all The Beatles tunes was so much fun!

Raise your hand, if you feel the power of Greased Lightning!
Don't get left in the dust, make sure to see Rockabilly Raceway before it screeches outta the Gaslight Theatre Tucson. Tables still available for the last weekend!

When:
Thursday, May 31 at 7pm
Friday, June 1 at 6pm and 8:30pm (8:30pm show will also have a special announcement of the upcoming season of shows)
Saturday, June 2 at 6pm and 8:30pm
Sunday, June 3 at 12:30pm

Where:The Gaslight Theatre Tucson on Broadway and Kolb

Tickets: Ask to see if there are any Buy One Get One Free tickets avaiable! Call for tickets:520-886-9428
