Taylor, known for the mellow mega-hits like “Sweet Baby James,” “Country Road,” and Fire and Rain,” lived in Chapel Hill for much of his childhood. The family moved from Boston after his dad took a job with the University of North Carolina School of Medicine.

According to the Associated Press, Taylor is performing at a western Massachusetts venue, Tanglewood, 50 years since he first performed there.
