A close-up of a musician, Bill Griese, playing an acoustic guitar and singing into a vintage-style microphone under warm stage lights.

On Friday, January 30, 2026, at 7:30 PM, the timeless melodies of a six-time Grammy winner fill the historic Park Theater. This is not your typical tribute show; Nashville singer-songwriter Bill Griese eschews impersonations and theatrics to deliver a refreshingly authentic homage to the music of James Taylor.

Step into our beautifully restored 1939 “People’s Palace” and feel the world outside fade away. The atmosphere is one of a private, living-room concert, where Griese’s spot-on vocals and masterful guitar work breathe new life into classics like “Fire and Rain,” “You’ve Got a Friend,” and “How Sweet It Is.” With only 559 seats, there isn’t a bad view in the house to witness this masterclass in acoustic storytelling. Whether you are a lifelong fan or simply looking for a night of soulful, high-quality music, this performance offers a front-row seat to the enduring spirit of American folk-rock.
