Famed American folk songwriters James Taylor and Jackson Browne are playing a Tampa concert together this fall, although I’m not sure if there’s an AARP discount.

Tickets to see James Taylowr & His All-Star Band, together with Jackson Browne, at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida on Thursday, Nov. 11 at 7:30 p.m. go on sale Friday, Aug. 27 at 10 a.m. EDT and start at $59.50.

In all seriousness, the bill brings together two of the biggest names in American folk music. Taylor, 73, last played Amalie in 2018, and Creative Loafing Tampa Bay last caught the 72-year-old Browne—a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee—the same year.

Other Florida stops on the Taylor-Browne tour include Sunrise (BB&T Center, Nov. 10), Jacksonville (VyStar Arena, Nov. 13) and Orlando (Nov. 14, Amway Center).
