See musical tributes to Carole King, James Taylor at ‘Symphony on the Prairie’

On Friday, July 8, Kroger Symphony on the Prairie presents “Home Again,” a tribute to the multi-award winning singer-songwriter Carole King. Deb De Lucca, joined by her band of seasoned musicians, takes the audience on a journey through King’s impressive and expansive repertoire.

King made her mark with Tapestry in 1971 but was already a well-established songwriter for over a decade. She wrote more than two dozen chart hits, many of which have become standards, for numerous artists such as The Shirelles, The Chiffons, The Drifters, The Carpenters, The Monkees, Herman’s Hermits, Bobby Vee and many more.

Then on Saturday, July 9, Kroger Symphony on the Prairie presents “Never Die Young, A Tribute to James Taylor.” Never Die Young was born from two musicians’ great respect for one another and their longing to continue to perform in venues across the U.S. Having been influenced by the legendary style of James Taylor, it made even more sense to create a project that paid ultimate respect to his music.

Never Die Young will take you down that “Country Road” James Taylor wrote about so many years ago and into his living room with songs like “The Secret of Life.” It’s a truly heartfelt and authentic interpretation of the music of James Taylor.
