The upcoming tour kicks off on Feb. 26 at the Brady Theater in Tulsa, Okla. and runs through March 12 at the Procter & Gamble Hall in Cincinnati. Ben and James Taylor tickets are also available for Feb. 27 in Memphis, Feb. 27 in Omaha, March 2 in Des Moines, March 4 in Indianapolis, March 5 in South Bend, Ind., and March 11 in Davenport, Iowa.

This is the first time the duo have toured together, though they have obviously been playing together for decades. James Taylor will bring his greatest hits to the stage like “Rain & Fire” and “Carolina In My Mind,” while Ben Taylor will be showcasing his latest album, Listening, which will debut in 2011.

Among the 15 artists with upcoming remastered releases is James Taylor, Badfinger, Mary Hopkins and Billy Preston. Oddly, though, no Beatles.

The idea for the Troubadour reunion tour came in 2007 after Carole King and James Taylor performed at the legendary Troubadour club in West Hollywood to celebrate the club’s 50th anniversary. Previously, King and Taylor played at the Troubadour in 1969. Fans and critics were so overwhelmed with the pairing that King and Taylor decided to bring the entertainment to the masses with a worldwide tour.

On the road, the tour will take place “in the round” meaning the stage will be set in the middle of the venue/arena floor surrounded on all sides with floor seating in additional to the regular side seating. But what’s unique about the Troubadour set design is the creation of a vintage nightclub-type seating area immediately surrounding the stage. The so-called “Stage Seats” are designed as tables for two, where the fan who pay for the privileged perches are practically face-to-face with Taylor and King. A preview of the set can be seen here.

The artists are upping the ante with this specialty seating. They are part of ticket packages being offered that come loaded with perks: access to the sound check session, pre-performance private catered reception, tour laminate, and commemorative tour book. And the best part - the money raised will be donated to nearly 100 local and national charities.

“When we first talked about reuniting, we knew we wanted to bring the Troubadour to life,” said Taylor. “These Stage Seats are one small way to pay homage. We also saw a national reunion tour as an opportunity to support the great work that charities are doing all across the U.S.”

Some of the charities to benefit from this generosity include Autism Speaks, Habit for Humanity, Natural Resources Defense Council, and many many more. To get your VIP Troubadour Tour tickets, visit ticketsforcharity.com.

King and Taylor just added a third Troubadour Reunion concert at Tanglewood in Lenox, Mass., on July 5. Taylor’s official Web site says that the July 3 and 4 shows at the venue had an “overwhelming response” and quickly sold out.

This is the third show the duo have had to add because of the overwhelming response. The first was for a Haiti Relief Benefit on Jan. 23, and the second is at the Mohegan Sun Arena on June 13.

“The response to the tour has been really amazing,” Taylor told the Berkshire Eagle. “It’s great while it lasts.”

So that’s what’s scheduled as of today, but there is always the promise of more dates, more cities and more James Taylor.

In addition to Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, U2, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, and Metallica, among others, Taylor has been added with Jackson Browne, Little Richard, Bonnie Raitt, Smokey Robinson and Sting.

The latter group will perform at the show on Friday, October 20th.
