James Taylor concert for Obama in Chapel Hill

Posted on October 15, 2008 by Staff

Details not yet announced on a free James Taylor concert in Chapel Hill — along with three other free shows around the state.
Here’s the release:

James Taylor is “Goin’ to Carolina” for Obama

Music Legend to Campaign for Change Across the State
RALEIGH – Music legend James Taylor will tour the state in support of
Senator Barack Obama’s Campaign for Change Sunday, October 19 through
Tuesday, October 21. He will hold concerts in Charlotte, Asheville,
Chapel Hill, Raleigh and Wilmington.

Taylor will help spread Senator Obama’s message of change to Tar Heel
voters and encourage Obama supporters to get out and vote early.

North Carolina is a battleground state this year because residents
cannot afford four more years of the same Bush policies that John McCain
is offering. Senator Barack Obama is the only candidate that will bring
the change North Carolina needs to create jobs and help our economy
recover.

Taylor was raised in Chapel Hill, where his father was the Dean of the
University of North Carolina School of Medicine. Over the course of his
long career, he has earned 40 gold, platinum and multi-platinum awards
and 5 Grammy Awards. He has been inducted into both the Rock ‘n’ Roll
Hall of Fame and the prestigious Songwriter’s Hall of Fame and has sold
some 40 million albums throughout his career.

Additional details for the free concerts will be announced in the coming
days.
