JT & FRIENDS – James Taylor Tribute

10/22/26 at 7:30 PM

Stephen Bock -Lead Vocals / Guitar

Born and raised in Los Angeles (the ‘Valley’ to be exact), Stephen Bock has been playing guitar since he was 8 years old. The inspiration for his desire to pick up the instrument: hearing James Taylor’s Fire and Rain. He was so moved and amazed by the incredible sound the acoustic guitar could make, he spent the next several years sitting in solitary confinement in his bedroom with a guitar on his lap and a record player (remember those?) on his shelf, learning the playing style of James Taylor. Through the years he has performed in many of LA’s premiere clubs and has fronted several bands, both cover and original. He was honored with two original composition awards in the 2004 USA Songwriting competition. He is thrilled to have found other incredible musicians who share his love of JT’s music and passion for playing it.

Tickets are $48 for Adults, $40 for Seniors 60 & Above and Students and $38 for Children 12 & Under. Please note there is a $3 per ticket processing fee for all tickets whether purchased online or in person at the box office.
