    Ange Boxall – Performer & Song Writer - Co-written and recorded with: • J.D. Souther (Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor) • Jim Lauderale (George Strait, Elvis Costello, Dixie Chicks, Vince Gill) • Shannon Wright & Adam Wright (Alan Jackson, Lee Ann Womack, John Legend) • Johnny Took (DMS’s) - Performed live with and/or supported live: • J.D. Souther • Jim Lauderdale • Bones Hillman (Midnight Oil) • Paul Kelly • Tim Freedman (The Whitlams) • Ron Sexsmith • Icehouse • Damien Leith Song writing is my therapy, my psychologist. Sometimes it takes a long time to finish a song. My longest took five years! Others come pouring out instantaneously, almost as though they were already written and you’re merely the transcriber. Songs can be like a lover. You can be obsessed with a newly penned song, wanting to play it all the time. In time you might realise that it’s not your finest work, maybe it’s even a crap song, ha! Maybe your friends sing along and it’s an instant a keeper. Others grow on you and become favourites over time. I write songs differently each time - sometimes a melody pops into my head. This often happens when I’m driving or doing menial tasks. Other times it’s a rhythm that comes. Sometimes it’s a poem and the writing first. Sometimes just a title. And sometimes it happens simultaneously. There isn’t one particular right or wrong way. It’s whatever works and feels right at the time. I started writing songs seriously when I was around 21. I’d been performing cover music around Hobart bars and clubs for a couple of years during Uni, earning money.

  • James Taylor
    JAMES TAYLOR Over the course of his long career, James Taylor has earned 40 gold, platinum and multi- platinum awards for a catalog running from 1970’s Sweet Baby James to his Grammy Award-winning efforts Hourglass (1997) and October Road (2002). Taylor’s first Greatest Hits album earned him the RIAA’s elite Diamond Award, given for sales in excess of 10 million units in the United States. For his accomplishments, James Taylor was honored with the 1998 Century Award, Billboard magazine’s highest accolade, bestowed for distinguished creative achievement. The year 2000 saw his induction into both the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame and the prestigious Songwriter’s Hall of Fame. In 2007 he was nominated for a Grammy Award for James Taylor at Christmas. In 2008 Taylor garnered another Emmy nomination for One Man Band album. Raised in North Carolina, Taylor now lives in western Massachusetts. He has sold some 35 million albums throughout his career, which began back in 1968 when he was signed by Peter Asher to the Beatles’ Apple Records. The album James Taylor was his first and only solo effort for Apple, which came a year after his first working experience with Danny Kortchmar and the band Flying Machine. It was only a matter of time before Taylor would make his mark. Above all, there are the songs: “Fire and Rain,” “Country Road,” “Something in The Way She Moves,” ”Mexico,” “Shower The People,” “Your Smiling Face,” “Carolina In My Mind,” “Sweet Baby James,” “Don’t Let Me Be Lonely Tonight,” “You Can Close Your Eyes,” “Walking Man,” “Never Die Young,” “Shed A Little Light,” “Copperline” and many more.

Sponsored by The Valley Advocate, 93.9 The River, WGBY TV57 and JR Lyman Co. About the Program "The American Beauty Project" is a special tribute concert to the Grateful Dead's most important and best-loved albums, Working Man's Dead and American Beauty. In January 2007, an all-star lineup of musicians that Relix magazine called "a dream team of performers" gave the premier of this concert in front of an over-flowing crowd at the World Financial Center's Winter Garden in New York City. The New York Times' Jon Pareles wrote that the concert gave "New life to a Dead classic... and mirrored the eclecticism of the Dead," and a Variety review said that the event brought "a back- porch feel to the canyons of Gotham's financial district. The perf's real fire came courtesy of acts that like to tear open the original structures of the source material and reassemble the parts afresh - an approach well-suited to the honorees' legacy." Now, a select group of those performers, including Ollabelle, Larry Campbell & Teresa Williams, Catherine Russell, and Jim Lauderdale are taking the show on the road.
