James Taylor Tribute Show featuring CAZ owner, Jake Schneider:

Two years ago, The CAZ opened its doors to bring exceptional live music to the community. This year, we invite you to honor that journey with a premium musical event: a live retrospective of James Taylor’s legendary catalog. Headlining the evening, Jake Schneider, owner of The CAZ, captures the signature warmth, acoustic brilliance, and storytelling charm of the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer.

Elevating the performance is vocalist Erin Hoyle, backed by an all-star rhythm and melodic section featuring Stu Weissman (guitar), Carol Jean Swist (keys), John Bryans (drums), and Chris Haug (bass).

Whether you've been with us since day one or are stepping through our doors for the first time, come celebrate our 2nd anniversary with world-class musicianship and the songs that defined a generation.

Join us and help celebrate two years of The CAZ.
