“James Taylor taking time out to make new record”
Supposedly, James Taylor is on a sabbatical this year, hoping to make a new album slated for release in 2014. But you’d never guess it given how busy he’s been lately. JT’s off to D.C., this week to pay tribute to Carole King, who’ll receive the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song at the White House.

“Jason Aldean finds his own path to the big leagues”
Jason Aldean always wanted to play at Fenway Park, maybe first base or elsewhere in the infield. That’s finally going to happen, but with a twist.

When the country superstar comes to Fenway Park, July 12-13, he arrives as one of the summer’s most hotly anticipated acts. He’s so big, in fact, that he’s also part of the Boston Strong concert set for May 30 at TD Garden, featuring Aerosmith, J. Geils Band, James Taylor, Carole King, New Kids on the Block, Jimmy Buffett, and a host of others. That show, too, is long sold out.
