Tickets to the concert go on sale Friday, Nov. 21 at 10 a.m. via RedSox.com. This marks Taylor’s first concert at Fenway, though he has been the selection of the Boston Red Sox and Major League Baseball to perform the national anthem during the World Series in 2004, 2007 and 2013.
Bonnie Raitt will be Taylor’s very special guest for the evening.
Taylor was born in Boston and now lives in the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts. He is enshrined in both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
“James Taylor playing Fenway Park is a dream come true for fans from Stockbridge to Boston,” Red Sox executive vice president/COO Sam Kennedy said, according to a press release. “For this extraordinary native son to perform at Fenway Park, it’s a dream come true for all of us with the Red Sox as well.”
Taylor has sold over 100 million albums throughout his career. He has earned 40 gold, platinum and multi-platinum awards, as well as multiple GRAMMY Awards.

Jazz and blues fests are everywhere now, and Americana is going strong on college radio. What I'm hearing is an appreciation of real music.
Bonnie Raitt
I speak my mind and come from a place of conscience, as well as have fun as a musician.
Bonnie Raitt
I don't know if I'm a heroine; I'm just somebody that can cheer the troops by singing to folks, and have receptions after the show, and tithe a dollar of every ticket sale for all kinds of different great charities and social action groups.
Bonnie Raitt
Quakers are known for wanting to give back. Ban the bomb and the civil rights movement and the native American struggle for justice - those things were very, very front-burner in my childhood, as were the ideas of working for peace and if you have more than you need, then you share it with people who don't.
Bonnie Raitt
The consolidation of the music business has made it difficult to encourage styles like the blues, all of which deserve to be celebrated as part of our most treasured national resources.
Bonnie Raitt
I think my fans will follow me into our combined old age. Real musicians and real fans stay together for a long, long time.
Bonnie Raitt
I grew up in Los Angeles in a Quaker family, and for me being Quaker was a political calling rather than a religious one.
Bonnie Raitt
I just play the music that I love with musicians that I respect, and fortunately, I'm in a position where people are willing to play with me, and perhaps I can do something to help them.
Bonnie Raitt
I never saw music in terms of men and women or black and white. There was just cool and uncool.
Bonnie Raitt
Solar power is the last energy resource that isn't owned yet - nobody taxes the sun yet.
Bonnie Raitt
Religion is for those who are scared of hell, and spirituality is for those who have been there.
Bonnie Raitt
Life gets mighty precious when there's less of it to waste.

Celebrates The Music Of An Exciting Jazz Master
Raitt contributed to a new album, If You're Going To The City: A Tribute To Mose Allison, which celebrates the late singer and pianist, who famously blended the rough-edged blues of the Mississippi Delta with the 1950s jazz of New York City.
NPR's Lulu Garcia-Navarro talks to Bonnie Raitt about her friendship with the Mose Allison. They're also joined by Amy Allison — his daughter, who executive produced the album — about selecting an unexpected list of artists to contribute songs to the album.
